Harnessing the Sun: IronRidge, Blue Pacific Solar, and DIY Roof Racking Systems
The sun, a boundless source of clean energy, beckons homeowners and businesses alike to embrace solar power. But harnessing this power requires a sturdy foundation – a reliable solar racking system. Two prominent names in this arena are IronRidge and Blue Pacific Solar, offering both pre-built and DIY options for securing your solar panels to the roof.

This modularity also simplifies installation, allowing for adjustments and customizations to suit specific roof configurations.
IronRidge doesn't shy away from innovation. Their FLASHFOOT® technology eliminates the need for traditional roof penetrations, minimizing potential leak points and simplifying installation. Additionally, their SolarFOAM™ product line offers pre-assembled mounting blocks that integrate seamlessly with the XR Series, further streamlining the installation process.

DIY Roof Racking: A Path for the Savvy Homeowner
For the DIY enthusiast, both IronRidge and Blue Pacific Solar offer individual components for building your own racking system. This can be a cost-effective option for those comfortable with technical tasks and confident in their roofing skills.
