Description
The IR-45ASAB BallastRack™ is a versatile and high-strength seasonally adjustable solar mounting solution designed to optimize your energy production all year round. Built from black zinc-plated steel, this rack offers unmatched durability, a broad range of tilt adjustments, and fast installation. It's ideal for ground-mounted solar systems in both residential and commercial settings.
Quantity required: total number of panels + number of rows of panels
For example:
- 1x row of 4x panels would be: 4 panels + 1 row = 5 mounts
- 3x rows of 7x panels would be: (7 panels x 3 rows) + 3 rows = 24 mounts

Product Overview
The IR-45ASAB BallastRack™ brings together structural integrity and solar performance flexibility. Its seasonal adjustability allows users to change tilt angles to capture more sun in winter or reduce wind exposure in summer. Angle changes are made easy with built-in indicators marked every 5°.
Made for long-term outdoor use, the rack is wind-rated to 200 mph and supports snow loads up to 100 psf, making it suitable for harsh climates and elevated altitudes. Its electroplated black zinc finish not only enhances aesthetics but also provides long-lasting corrosion protection.
