XR Rails

XR Rails are the backbone of the solar array. Their unique curved profile increases structural strength and spanning capability, allowing for fewer roof penetrations and more cost-effective system designs.

XR Rail are available in three targeted sizes: XR10, XR100 & XR1000. Each size supports specific design loads, while minimizing material costs. Depending on your location, there is an XR Rail to match.

All XR Rails are made of marine-grade aluminum alloy, then protected with an anodized finish. Anodizing protects against surface and structural corrosion, while also providing a more attractive appearance.

UFOs (Universal Fastening Objects)

UFOs are one-size-fits-all, single-piece fasteners that quickly and securely bonds solar modules to XR Rails. They come lubricated and assembled, with a sleek, low-profile design. Simply snapping on a Stopper Sleeve transforms the UFO into an end clamp.

UFOs are made of stainless steel and available in clear or black finishes.

FlashFoot2

The FlashFoot2 is an all-in-one roof attachment for mounting XR Rails to composition shingle roofs. Its integrated design incorporates both structural and waterproofing features into a single assembly.

Stopper Sleeve

The Stopper Sleeve snaps onto the IronRidge UFO to transform it into an end clamp.

It comes in clear and black finishes and 6 different sizes to accommodate a range of module frames.

Tilt Legs

Tilt Legs are available in multiple lengths to support a wide range of mounting angles. The Fixed Tilt Leg Kit includes a North & South Tilt Leg, plus hardware for attaching to XR Rails.

South Tilt Legs come assembled and feature angle indicator markings to simplify installation. North Tilt Legs consists of a slotted aluminum tube and a pivot bracket for full adjustability.

XR Rail Assembly

Modules are clamped to XR1000 rails to create a column between the North (high) and South (low) cross pipes. XR1000 rails support up to 5 modules per column in landscape orientation.

All components for the rail assembly are available in clear or black finishes, and clamps are available in a range of sizes to match all common module frames.

Top Cap & Rail Connector

Cast aluminum Top Caps quickly attach to vertical posts with set screws, and also support cross pipes using companion U-bolt hardware.

Top Caps are available for 2” and 3” schedule-40 pipe and mechanical tubing.

Rail Connector attach XR1000 Rails to the cross pipes using 3/8” nuts and bolts.

Pipe & Mechanical Tubing

The Ground Mount System uses either schedule-40 steel pipe or mechanical tubing (e.g. Allied Flo-Coat, Gatorshield, Gatorshield Plus) as the primary structural element.

Locally-sourced steel pipe and mechanical tubing minimizes materials and shipping costs, while increasing the speed and flexibility of construction.

In addition, the Ground Mount System works with concrete piers, pile-driven piers, and many other foundation types.

Diagonal Braces

Diagonal Braces are optionally available for severe load conditions to provide extra stability in the North-South direction.

The Diagonal Brace is shipped with all hardware needed for installation between the north and south posts.
