IntegraRack IR-30 Solar Panel Ground Mount Bracket – 30 Degree Angle (Individual Frame)

Description

The IntegraRack IR-30 is a solar panel frame set at a 30° angle, optimal for year-round solar energy production in the contiguous United States. Assembling one frame takes about two minutes, and a full installation of a 10-panel array takes about 100 minutes.

These simple yet durable racks are designed to withstand severe winds and snowfall regardless of the chosen solar panel size. Panels up to 32sqft withstand up to 120mph winds and up to 65psf of snow load, and panels up to 24sqft withstand up to 150mph winds and up to 100psf of snow load.

The solar panels attach to the frames in a portrait orientation with the included IR-F2 mounting brackets.  Each installation requires the same number of frames as solar panels plus one per assembled row. For example, one row with 12 solar panels requires 13 frames, or two rows of 6 panels would require 14 frames.

There are several methods to mount the frame, and they do not require concrete footings, post pounding, or earth augers. Instead, IntegraRack offers four mounting options, two of which do not require a concrete mounting structure.

• Base ballast mounting uses a minimum of 350lbs to anchor the frame. Different heavy items can be used, but IntegraRack recommends the following options:
  • Three 175lb concrete curb stops are cost effective items for this anchoring method and secure the system to withstand 70 – 80mph winds. 
  • The IR EarthBallast Mounting Kit includes geotextile material and epoxy and relies on the weight from dirt or gravel deposited on the frames to hold them down. This mounting system withstands 100mph winds with 32sqft panels and 120mph winds with 24sqft panels. 
• IntegraRack’s IR AnchorSpike Mounting Kit secures up to 11 frames per mounting kit to the earth with hollow spikes and epoxy. This system withstands 100mph winds with 32sqft panels and 120mph winds with 24sqft panels.
• The Concrete Slab/Footing Lag Bolt Mounting Kit by IntegraRack provides the bolts and washers necessary to mount 11 frames to pre-cast concrete surfaces weighing at least 1000lbs. This method secures a 32sqft panel system up to 120mph winds and a 24sqft system up to 150mph winds.

All installations except for the Concrete Anchor Bolt Mounting require EMT/conduit pipe with a one-inch diameter, found at most local hardware stores, to strengthen the system and properly position the modules.
