For the more traditional roofs we use unitary products but we use the iron ridge

</div>After many years of UniRac we switched to SnapnRack. We have never had to wait for product. AEE ships within 48 hours (usually) there are lots of options for different roofs and they all seem to work well. Flush mount rail is the same for ground mount. We have “custom” over engineered racks at 10,000 ft.el., many times that were like doing erector sets on a roof and are so stout that it is wonderful. Service has been excellent with question & suggestions. I am sold can you tell?
Flush mount is a an easy install too check out their online design & components www.snapnrack.com/

Hi Jason,

We've used Unirac for years but have been contemplating Ironridge. I'm curious what your experience was and why you went back to Unirac? 

Anyone else have input on best racking systems for flush-mounted residential systems on comp roof?

Thanks,

Dana

I'm curious if these vertical integrators will still make their acquired brands available to small dealers through distribution. When SolarCity snatched up Zep, I had concerns about being able to service or add onto existing Zep systems we installed. That's definitely a concern going forward, and reason to perhaps stick with the most compatible racking solutions available. We used IronRidge for a while, which is largely compatible with Unirac, but now we're back on the Unirac bandwagon. 

Interesting times...

We have been using Snap N' Rack for a while, Have lots of installs in Hawaii - so far no problems, I like the convenience of the design for snapping in the slider nut in mid rail, and also the ability to install the panels flush with the end of the rails….

I am curious about the mid clamps on the snapnrack.   The flange that rests on top of the solar panel frame is so small ~ 3/16".    Anyone experience any problems with these failing in a big storm?    With solar panel frames not being square it is nice to have a little extra to grab - I am always curious as to why these clips are made with such a small area to hold the panels down.   

All feedback on these clips is appreciated.

The only complaint with the Snapnrack rails is the thin wall can easily be distorted. This will allow the nut to drop out of its groove. Love the universal end clamps but have learned to assemble every one to check for proper fit before getting on the roof.

Hello Wrenches,

How would you rate the SnapNrack mounting systems against Unirac and other mounting systems?

Thanks,

Drake
