Installation Manual
Introduction
The IronRidge Standard (XRS) and Light (XRL) Rail Systems are flexible and straightforward roof mounting solutions for
a wide variety of solar photovoltaic (PV) needs. Due to their modular design, they can easily handle a multitude of panel
sizes and quantities.
Installer Responsibility
The installer is solely responsible for:
I. Complying with all applicable local or national building codes, including any that may supersede this manual;
II. Ensuring that IronRidge and other products are appropriate for the particular installation and the installation
environment;
III. Ensuring that all structural support members, including the roof, its rafters, and connections, can support the array
under all code level loading conditions;
IV. Using only IronRidge parts and installer-supplied parts as specified by IronRidge. Substitution parts may void the
warranty;
V. Ensuring that anchoring devices including lag screws have adequate pullout strength and shear capacities as
installed;
VI. Maintaining the waterproof integrity of the structural support or roof, including selection of appropriate flashing;
VII. Ensuring safe installation of all electrical aspects of the PV array;
VIII. Ensuring that PV module is installed per module manufacturer’s installation requirements; the PV module
manufacturer accepts clamping and grounding methods described in this manual; that PV module is UL or CE listed
and verification of PV Module’s capacity to support the loads associated with the given array;
IX. Ensuring correct and appropriate design parameters are used in determining the design loading used for the specific
installation. Parameters, such as snow loading, wind speed, exposure and topographic factor should be confirmed
with the local building official or a licensed professional engineer.
