IRONRIDGE XR Rail Family
Over their lifetime, solar panels experience countless
extreme weather events. Not just the worst storms in years,
but the worst storms in 40 years. High winds capable of
ripping panels from a roof, and snowfalls weighing
enough to buckle a panel frame.
XR Rails are the structural backbone preventing
these results. They resist uplift, protector
against buckling and safely and efficiently
transfer loads into the building structure.
Their superior spanning capability .;
requires fewer roof attachments, ° `� t I
reducing the number of roof �� w
penetrations and the amount
of installation time.
f
Y
Force-Stabilizing Curve
Sloped roofs generate both vertical and lateral
forces on mounting rails which can cause them
k i to bend and twist.The curved shape of XR Rails
" is specially designed to increase strength in both
directions while resisting the twisting.This unique
feature ensures greater security during extreme
weather and a longer system lifetime.
Compatible with Flat &Pitched Roofs Corrosion-Resistant Materials
XR Rails are IronRidge offers All XR Rails are made of marine-grade a�
compatible with a range of tilt leg aluminum alloy,then protected with an
FlashFoot and options for flat anodized finish.Anodizing prevents surface
other pitched root roof mounting and structural corrosion,while also providing
attachments. applications. a more attractive appearance.

Re: Bonnie Gruszecki and Maggie Wynne, 138 Overlook Dr, Florence,MA: Structural
assessment of existing house roof to support proposed solar array.
I have investigated the existing roof framing in the area of the proposed PV panel installation. The
28'x 40' cape style house was constructed in 1994. The existing rafters are 2x10 installed at 16"
on-center, spanning 13'-6"with the south roof pitch at 12/12. The roofing is asphalt shingles.
I have reviewed the mounting details for the proposed array. Based on a PV panel unit weight of
40± lbs, with the attachment points of the array placed at a maximum of 4' on center and
staggered to minimize the load to any one rafter, the existing roof framing is adequate to support
the proposed PV solar array and the snow load requirements of the current MA State Building
Code.
Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.
Sincerely, -A OF SSA
