    IronRidge
    Universal Fastening Object (UFO)
    Family of Products
    IronRidge has created a new and improved mid clamp/end clamp solution - the UFO! UFO stands for 'Universal Fastening Object', meaning it works with the majority of solar panel frames, 30 - 48 mm high. It arrives assembled, lubricated, and has integrated grounding. No longer is there a need for separate grounding hardware. This new clamp bonds the solar panels directly to the IronRidge XR Rails. The new re-designed T-bolt allows the clamp to stand on it's own inside the rail, allowing for one person operation. And it magically transforms from a grounded mid clamp to a grounded end clamp by simply adding a stopper sleeve. The grounding lug, splices, and attachments are now all bonded as well, making for a safer solar installation, with less parts and labor!
    FEATURES Universal Mid Clamp (UFO) :
    Pre-assembled, free standing and auto aligning allows for one person operation and saves tremendously on installation costs
    New diagonal T-bolt is bigger and makes 30% more contact area within the rail track, improving the pull-out resistance
    360-degree bonding washer meets the new UL-2703* requirements - the standard for solar mounting systems
    Universal sizing fits 30- 48 mm solar panel frame heights, eliminating the need for many different clamp sizes
    FEATURES Universal End Clamp (CAMO) :
    Allows the rail to remain invisible under the module
    Unique one-piece design mechanically and electrically bonds module frames simply by rotating it into place
    Universal - only one part for all size module frames - up to 40mm
    No tools or torque specs required - simple and fast - fully assembled - clicks into place
    Can use clear or mill rails with black framed modules, as you can't see the rail from the ground
    Results in a clean, sleek, aesthetically-pleasing installation with flush ends
    Passed bonding tests after being un-installed and re-installed 5 times
    Small premium (~ per array) when compared to the UFO/Stopper combination
    Meets UL-2703* requirements
    Restrictions Universal End Clamp (CAMO) :
    Extreme snow loads with modules less that less than 35mm (these modules may flex and give less clearance between the module and the rail to accommodate the CAMO)
    Orphan modules - the UFO midclamps/stoppers would provide additional array/stability
    SolarWorld modules when mounted in landscape due to their short return flange
    *UL 2703 BENEFITS:
    IronRidge systems are LISTED to UL 2703 - meaning it meets ALL the requirements of the standard - electrical/bonding, mechanical, and fire.
    Since the end clamps are now bonding, for orphan module cases for example, there is no need to utilize 3 lugs (for both rails and the module). Only 1 lug is needed.
    An entire Ground Mount array can be grounded with a single lug (vs one on each column of panels), providing significant labor savings.
    For Micro Inverter installs, all grounding lugs and copper are eliminated.
    UFO Family of Components (click on buttons above for image and add to cart):
    Bonded Universal Mid Clamp (UFO)
    - in clear or black - for module frame heights from 30mm to 48mm sizes
    Bonded Universal End Clamp (CAMO)
    - for mill or black rails/module installations - for modules up to 40mm.
    Bonded End Clamp
    - a Stopper Sleeve that snaps onto the UFO - in clear or black - for module frame heights from 32mm to 46mm sizes
    Bonded Splice
    - eliminates the need for a Grounding Strap, saving significant material costs and labor. There are now 4 self-drilling screws in each splice to form a secure, bonded rail connection.
    Grounding Lug
    - one lug per row. Low profile lug allows for single socket to be used both to mount and tighten the set screw. Dual orientation installation gives flexibility on how the equipment grounding conductor is run.

    Everyoneshouse Profile.
    I recently sold my successful solar company that I created around 1992 in the state of Maine.  My solar experience in site surveys, design, installations, and maintenance of 300 plus clients, specializing in off grid homes, and owning my own off grid home.
    Solar is part of my life and the bonus of meeting so many different client’s needs, remains my quest to see more people enjoy their home with solar.
    I have taken advantage of my suppliers for the last 25 years to give you the best price I possibly can.  If you don’t find what you need on my site, please tell me what you need and I will do my best to get it for you.
    If you are new to solar and need help, feel free to reach out to me.  I will be more than happy to design a system for your needs.
    I normally ship within two days of receiving payment, however if your item is not readily available I will inform you immediately and make the necessary required changes.
    Sincerely
    John Myatt
