The SOLAR FLEXRACK is the most innovative photovoltaic rack mounting system on the market. Available in ground mount, roof mount and carport models, the SOLAR FLEXRACK is precision-engineered in our ISO:9001 Certified facility. The industry leader in Speed, Savings, Engineering, Durability and Warranty, the SOLAR FLEXRACK erects by a three-man crew in five minutes or less, resulting in significantly accelerated construction times and dramatic savings on labor costs., balance of system cost reductions and a more competitive cost-per-watt.

Having already established it as the photovoltaic racking system that can be erected more quickly and easily than any of its competitors, Solar FlexRack has now turned its attention to the way in which PV panels are installed on their racks.

Their equally innovative solutions — the SFR Smart Clip and SFR Smart Bonding Clip — will be on display at the Solar FlexRack booth (#1337), where visitors will see:

• A working model of a Solar FlexRack in portrait orientation displaying the slide-in module mounting system
• A second Solar FlexRack in landscape orientation demonstrating the SFR Smart Clip and SFR Smart Bonding Clip module mounting system


All will get an up-close look how these devices provide the same unparalleled speed and ease of installation for PV panels that the Solar FlexRack is known for.

The SFR Smart Clip and Smart Bonding Clip come with all hardware pre-assembled within the clip. Modules simply snap into the clips, which feature a unique patent-pending mechanical spring-action design that holds them permanently in place using constant applied pressure. It is not necessary to hold the module while installing additional clips. Both clips need to be torqued down only once; thus, re-torque, long-reach scenarios and the need to work above modules are eliminated.

The SFR Smart Clip is an end clip that can be custom-designed to fit any framed module. Top Smart Clips are installed on the ground before the Solar FlexRack is lifted into place — thus, there is no need for ladders on most job sites.

The SFR Smart Bonding Clip is designed to be used as a mid clip to bond two PV modules at once. The wings of the Smart Bonding clip feature sharpened stainless steel edges which, when the clip is torqued down, pierce the anodic surface of the module at two separate locations for safety. This process creates a bond from module to rack, while simultaneously completing bonding all the way from module to ground post. With this method, the need for ground straps is completely eliminated.

The Smart Bonding Clip can be custom-designed to fit any framed module. It is Intertek-approved to ETL and UL Standards (UL 2703 and UL 1703) for the Solar FlexRack system.
