4 FAQs about How to install modern solar racks

What is a solar racking system?

A solar racking system safely affixes solar panels to different surfaces, such as your roof or yard. Solar companies use racking products to hold equipment in place during an installation.

How do you ground a solar racking system?

Installing your solar racking system properly can help you ground correctly. Most racking systems are UL-listed to bond PV module frames to the racking. All you have to do is connect the equipment grounding conductor to one rail in each row, allowing all metal parts to bond to the grounding conductor.

Does solar racking work on a roof?

Proper solar racking safely affixes solar panels to buildings, so your racking system must be compatible with your roof. The essential components of a solar racking system include flashings, mounts, rails, and clamps. The top solar panel racking brands include SnapNrack, Unirac, IronRidge, Quick Mount PV, EcoFasten, and AllEarth Renewables.

How do you secure solar panels on racking?

To keep solar panels secured in place on racking, installers use clamps, which link solar modules to the rails below. Installers will often use both mid-clamps and end-clamps on an installation. Mid-clamps sit between solar panels and them in place on two sides, while end-clamps sit at the ends of the full system and are typically larger.
