IronRidge rail, clamps, attachments, splices, and grounding off your roof layout (48" max attachment span). Sized to standard structural defaults; your installer confirms the spec for your wind zone.

Carries your count into the System Builder, then you add the inverter and batteries.

A solid working estimate, sized with the same ASCE 7-16 wind math our own designs start from. It is not a stamped engineering document; confirm the design with your local building department before you permit or order. Questions? Ask us.
