-
Multiple Mounting Options: Offers four versatile mounting methods—EarthBallast™, AnchorSpike™, concrete anchor bolts, and base ballasting—allowing installations on various terrains without the need for concrete footings or earth augers.
-
Optimal Sun Angle: Fixed at a 30° angle, the IR-30 provides optimal year-round energy production and efficient snow shedding, enhancing overall system performance.
Product Overview:
The IR-30 BallastRack™ is one of the most universal solar module ground mounting systems available, meticulously designed to accommodate solar modules of any size, including the latest 700-watt jumbo panels. Its fixed 30° design offers optimal year-round energy production across most regions, and with its easy-to-slide adjustable solar module height feature, it provides excellent ground clearance and an ideal angle for rapid snow shedding.
Installation Efficiency:
One of the standout features of the IR-30 is its lightning-fast assembly and installation process. Each frame can be assembled in less than two minutes, and the complete installation—from frame assembly to module mounting—can be completed in under ten minutes per module section. This efficiency makes the IR-30 up to six times faster to install compared to traditional ground mount systems, significantly reducing labor costs and project timelines.
Versatile Mounting Options:
The IR-30's universal rack frame design supports four distinct mounting methods, ensuring adaptability to various site conditions:integrarack.com
-
IR EarthBallast™ System: Utilizes high-strength epoxy and geotextile material to create a stable base filled with earth, dirt, crushed rock, or road base, requiring approximately 700 pounds of ballast fill material per section.
-
IR AnchorSpike™ System: Employs specially designed 33-inch barbed aluminum spikes and a two-part epoxy to anchor the system securely into the ground, providing over 1,000 pounds of uplift resistance per spike.
-
Concrete Anchor Bolt Mounting: Allows direct bolting of the IR-30 frame to pre-cast concrete slabs, footings, or existing concrete surfaces, offering the highest wind load rating of up to 150 mph.
-
Base Ballasting: Utilizes materials such as sandbags, water tanks, or concrete blocks to ballast the system, providing a flexible solution for various site conditions.
Cost-Effectiveness:
The IR-30 stands out as one of the most cost-effective ground mount racking systems on the market. Its rapid installation process, minimal labor requirements, and ability to accommodate any module size contribute to a lower installed cost per kilowatt, making it an economical choice for solar projects of all scales.
Durability and Compliance:
Constructed from high-strength materials, the IR-30 is engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including high wind speeds and heavy snow loads. It conforms to UL 2703 mechanical and bonding requirements, ensuring compliance with industry standards and providing peace of mind regarding system safety and reliability.
