IR-W5MBCB MultiBallast™ Mount – 5° East/West ‘W’ Configuration

Key Features

 

NUMBER NEEDED IS equal to:  Number of Panels + Number of Rows

• •  

• 5° Fixed Tilt with East/West ‘W’ or Flat 0° Configuration
  Adaptable design offers two tilt options for maximum solar deployment flexibility—ideal for flat roofs or ground setups.

• Universal Module Compatibility
  Racks virtually any size solar module using standard cinder blocks (CMUs) for ballast—no roof penetrations required.

• Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Construction
  Built with precision and durability using high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials engineered for long-term performance.

• Modular Design per Panel
  One kit is used per solar panel, plus one extra kit to start each row—making system scaling and layout simple and efficient.

Product Description

The IR-W5MBCB MultiBallast™ Mount is a universal, low-tilt ballasted mounting solution designed to support a wide range of solar modules in either a 5° East/West ‘W’ configuration or a flat 0° orientation. Optimized for both rooftop and ground-mount environments, this innovative design allows solar professionals and installers to quickly deploy secure, no-penetration solar systems with maximum layout density.

Each kit is built from aircraft-grade aluminum, offering superior structural integrity while remaining lightweight and corrosion-resistant. This makes it perfect for long-term installations on commercial rooftops, parking structures, or any application where roof penetrations are not feasible.

The system is designed to work with standard concrete cinder blocks (CMUs) as ballast, eliminating the need for expensive custom-weight solutions. This makes installation cost-effective and flexible across a wide range of site conditions.

For maximum layout efficiency, the East/West ‘W’ configuration minimizes shading while reducing row spacing requirements—allowing tighter module spacing and greater total energy production per square foot.

Each IR-W5MBCB kit includes:

• (2) Aluminum Base Mounts

• (2) H-Bracket Module Mounting Arms

• (4) IR-F2 Solar Module Flange Clamp Bonding Brackets (UL 2703 compliant)

Note: One mounting kit is required per solar module, and one additional kit is needed to start each new row. This modular approach keeps layout planning simple and scalable, whether you're deploying 10 panels or 1,000.
