Description
IntegraRack® IR-05 BallastBase™ Flat Roof Mount (5 Degree)
*SOLAR PANEL CLAMPS NOT INCLUDED
The IR-05 Ballast System is one of the fastest, strongest, and most cost effective on the market, and offers multiple mounting methods to ensure that the same part can be used for any job. Each IR-05 Bracket is built from a solid piece of aluminum and designed with versatility in mind, such as an integrated tube handle and micro-inverter mounting points built into each bracket. Each panel can be mounted with just two IR-05 mounts (two extra will be required to start each row of panels) and four IR-F2 Flange Clamp Bonding Brackets (Sold separately).
*LEAD TIME: 1-2 Weeks
*Some photos may show old style IR-05 that uses the IntegraRack IR-F1 for solar panel mounting. Please refer to the main product image for an accurate depiction of what product you are getting with your order.
*If installing this product on a flat roof with no parapet, the sides and back of the system must be covered to block wind from getting underneath the solar panels
How many mounts do I need?
IR-05 Mounts:
((NUMBER OF PANELS) + (ROWS OF PANELS)) x 2 = (MOUNTS NEEDED)
EXAMPLES:
20 solar panels total in 2 rows requires 44 mounts
20 solar panels total in 4 rows requires 48 mounts
IR-F2 Clamps:
(NUMBER OF PANELS) x 4 = (CLAMPS NEEDED)
EXAMPLES:
20 solar panels total requires 80 clamps
15 solar panels total requires 60 clamps
– Lightning Fast Assembly & Installation
- Fastest flat roof ballasted system on the market
- 30 second assembly per mount
- Installation as fast as 5 minutes per module
- One installer can carry multiple mounts with ballast weight at a time
– Strong, Easy Carry Design
- Integrated tube handle clamps standard cinder block into the mount itself when secured in place
- Tube handle allows one person to carry and place multiple mounts in a single trip across the roof
- Easy carry design makes installations much much faster and easier with less fatigue
- Built-in Micro-Inverter/Solar Optimizer mounting point
The IR-05 is designed to clamp around a standard cinder block (4″ x 8″ x 16″) to provide 32lbs of weight and the integrated handle allows one person to carry and place multiple base systems with weight without the fatigue caused by other ballasted basket type systems. Capable of holding up to 700 Watt Solar Modules and equipped with Micro-Inverter/Solar Optimizer Mounting Points.
– Multiple Installation Methods
- Ballasted Installation: Each IR-05 is designed to clamp around a standard 32 pound cinder block (Recommended Dimensions: 16 x 8 x 4 Inches)
- Adhesive Installation: Adhere each mount to the roof using IntegraGel Fast Setting Epoxy
- Direct Bolted: Each mount can be bolted directly to the roof while using IntegraGel to maintain a water-tight seal
– Easy Module Mounting
- Each panel can be mounted in under 1 minute
- Bend tabs create a shelf for the solar panel to rest on before mounting
- Mounting only requires the fastening of 4 serrated nuts for each solar panel using the IR-F2 clamps
– UL 2703
This product conforms to UL 2703 Mechanical and Bonding requirements.

Included
Hardware:
(1) Tube Handle
(2) 5 / 16 – 18 x 5 / 8″ Bolts
Mounting
Mounting Requirements
- (2) IR-05 Brackets are required per module after the starter row ((2) extra IR-05 Brackets will be required at the end of each row).
- For high wind areas, additional IR-05 Brackets can be mounted against the end module that will catch the most wind.
- (6) IR-F1 Rail-Less Module Flange Clamp & Bonding Brackets will be required per module (Sold separately)
Ballasted Install
Each IR-05 is designed to clamp around a standard cinder block to provide weight for the system.
- Each IR-05 Bracket is capable of clamping around a 32lbs cinder block (4″ x 8″ 16″) for best fitment and sufficient weight.
- The structural bends of the IR-05 are designed to keep the cinder block 1/4″ above the roof surface.
- Most roof manufacturers require that a slip mat be placed between any ballast system and the roof surface.
Adhesive Install
If roof structure cannot support the weight of a ballasted system, each IR-05 can be mounted using nothing but a high-strength polyurethane adhesive for up to 200lbs of uplift per bracket, while maintaining non-invasive mounting.
- Approximately (1) tube of IntegraRack’s recommended high-strength tested adhesive (Bostik 915FS™ Hurricane Strength Polyurethane Adhesive) will be required for every (10) IR-05 Brackets (Adhesive sold separately).
- Polyurethane adhesive requires 24-48 hours to set up depending on climate conditions.
Deck Mounting Install
For the most secure mounting each IR-05 can be deck mounted to the roof. Before using deck mounting bolts, Adhesive Install must be done first to maintain a watertight seal.
- (4) IR Deck Mounting Bolts with EPDM Sealing Washers will be required per IR-05 Bracket.
- Each IR-05 has five openings on the bottom surface. The four outer openings are for the deck mounting bolts, while the middle opening is for visual inspection of the adhesive to ensure proper tension has been applied.
