This manual describes the proper installation procedures and provides necessary standards required for product reliability
and warranty. All installers must thoroughly read this manual and have a clear understanding of the installation steps and
procedures prior to installation. Failure to follow these guidelines may result in property damage, bodily injury or even
death.
IT IS THE INSTALLER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO:
• Ensure that the installation is completed by a licensed solar professional.
• Comply with all applicable local or national building codes, including any that may supersede this manual.
• Ensure all products are appropriate for the installation, environment, and array under the site’s loading conditions.
• Use only IronRidge parts or parts recommended by IronRidge; substituting parts may void any applicable warranty.
• Review the Design Assistant, Engineering Design Guide, and Certication Letters to conrm design specications.

• Validate foundation parameters prior to installation, as a local geotechnical report may be required to assess ground
conditions. We recommend consulting with a local engineer familiar with local regulations and build site requirements,
including soil conditions, terrain and load criteria. All parameters may impact foundation requirements.
• Ensure safe installation of all electrical aspects of the array. All electrical installation and procedures should be
conducted by a licensed and bonded electrician or solar contractor. All work must comply with national, state and local
installation procedures, product and safety standards.
