Rail Sizing

When flush mounting solar modules, the lengths of XRS or XRL rail required for each row can be calculated by multiplying the quantity of modules in a row by the module's width. To this add a 6 mm space between each module, and 38 mm to each end for the total rail length needed for that row.

For example, to mount twelve modules that are each 1 m wide, the calculations are as follows:
12 x 1 m = 12000 mm (account for width of modules in portrait mode)
11 x 6 mm = 66 mm (account for width of mid-clamps between the twelve modules)
2 x 38 mm = 76 mm (to account for two end clamps)
12000 + 66 + 76 = 12142 mm (total length of each rail)

Thus ten 2743 mm (9 ft ) rails will be required to mount these twelve modules in a row.*
* Plus eight Internal Splices

True North Power NG Mounts Universal Flush Mounts
PowerSeries are the only pedestal mounts engineered and certified to withstand 175 km/h wind. Angled and flat roof or ground mount all use only two or three components to mount virtually any make, model or size of panel up to 200 - 280 W with all stainless fasteners included. True North Channellox rails are standard for all systems and are so well designed that they are certified to withstand 175 km/h wind
events.
PowerSeries mounts all come with a 10 year warranty, hot dipped galvanized steel back, aluminum and stainless hardware and can easily be assembled in under an hour with no special tools. The array can be tilted from horizontal to vertical or swivel 180 degrees and then locked into position or changed at any time in less than a minute. There are four basic sizes needed, for almost any panel, to fit 4", 6" or 8" pole for as many as 8-14 panels up to about 3 kW or more.

Roof Mount Tilt Legs
roof or ground mount tilt legsTo tilt your XRS mount for optimal production these Tilt Leg and Bracket kits support a 0-40 degree array tilt. Please note that tilting up your roof mount will significantly change the wind and snow loading characteristics so please refer to the span certification letter specific to tilt assemblies, available on the IronRidge website. Made of robust aluminum extrusion and pre-drilled for installer convenience.

Mount Flashing
MicroFit, FIT compliant, Ontario

Quick MOunt PV - all-in-one waterproof flashing and mountQuick Mount PV is an all-in-one waterproof flashing and mount to anchor photovoltaic racking systems and solar thermal panels, for a new or existing roof. It is made of aluminum and includes stainless steel hardware. It works with all standard racks, installs seamlessly and saves labour by not needing to cut away any roofing, will out live galvanized 2 to 1, and is a better low-profile mount.

The units are sold in 12 packs. Each 12 pack includes the mounting hardware and the mount with flashing to install 12 mounts, with written instructions.

Tracker or fixed mount?
The path of the sun changes with the seasons. Thus the angle of incidence of the sun striking the solar panels changes. A single axis tracker tracks the sun east to west and a dual axis tracker tracks the daily east to west movement of the sun and the seasonal declination movement of the sun. A single axis tracker pivots only about a vertical axle, with the solar panels mounted at a fixed tilt or (seasonally) adjustable angles, and is suitable for high latitudes where the apparent solar path is not high, but which leads to long days in summer (sun traveling a long arc). Compared to a fixed solar mount, a single axis tracker can improve the annual energy production up to 30 %, and a dual axis tracker an additional 6%. Factors that can negate the advantage of trackers are the cost, the technology (motors or compressed gas fluid) and the maintenance. In terms of cost of a complete solar system, it could be cost effective to gain the same annual energy harvest by adding one or more modules on a fixed mount without worrying about mechanical failure using a solar tracker.

PV array orientations, Solar path

Solar tracker mounts Single Axis Tracker
It is a well known fact that photovoltaic module output is highest when the sun strikes the module at 90 degrees. Early in the morning and late afternoon much of the light hits on an angle thus reducing power output. This Tracker uses an innovative PV circuit to control the electric actuator arm which positions the PV array to point at the sun. Photovoltaics are more sensitive and reliable, and react faster than refrigerant based units.

Deger Dual Axis Tracker

Dual Axis Tracker

DegerEnergie Matrix Energy now offers the DEGER dual axis tracker systems specifically designed for the MicroFIT and FIT programs. Now made in Ontario, the DEGER systems qualify for the Ontario Domestic Content Rules. Having over 30,000+ units Worldwide, DEGER is the leader in tracking systems for over 10 years. Matrix Energy offers the DEGER 5000HD Dual Axis Tracker and the 9000NT Dual Axis Tracker. The 5000HD easily handles up to 430 ft2 of modules or up to 7 kW of grid-tie output. The 9000NT handles an impressive 753 ft2 of modules or up to 12 kW of output. Affordable, ease of use and peace of mind using a DEGER because of its advanced technology wind sensor protection and snow sensor protection. Given high wind conditions, the DEGER will tilt back to table top until conditions get better. A snow sensor prevents the accumulation of snow by tilting the tracker to the vertical and shedding the snow. The ground concrete base makes for easy and economical installations. Standard 5 year warranty and extended warranties available. Matrix Energy offers full DEGER systems including: PV modules, inverters, control box, disconnects, and balance of system. Systems are fully CSA certified.
