Thanks for the responses.  

 

I called UniRac and IronRidge who both confirmed they max out at 45°.  UniRac 
said anything over 45° is considered a wall and requires different testing and 
certification.  They said the primary concern is the end clamp which holds the 
module by friction only.  Mid clamps should hold no problem.  They suggested 
getting an engineer to stamp a custom bolted end clamp solution and we should 
be good.    

 

I’ve been looking for a good excuse to try Snap n Rack…

 

Thanks,

Garrison

Pro solar will work just fine.

I would suggest calling unirac as it may be a software issue that uou are 
having but they will confirm eitherway

Wrenches,

 

Can anyone recommend a flush mount racking system for really steep roofs?  I 
have two projects coming up on 15/12 (~51°) and none of the usual manufacturers 
we use for flush mounts (IronRidge XR, Unirac SolarMount, Schletter Solo, DPW 
Powerrail) can handle this apparently…at least according to their design tools 
and manuals.

 

Any advice would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Garrison
