Easy Solar on Metal Roof: IntegraRack IR-D1 Self-Sealing Brackets

In this video, I’m adding some extra solar power to my coop roof using the IntegraRack IR-D1 multi-surface mounting brackets paired with the IronRidge XR100 Rail system. These are leftover, used panels from SanTan Solar, originally part of my coop rebuild project. I'll show the full installation process on a metal roof and share some tips for mounting solar panels on this surface. https://integrarack.com/ Links to the parts & pieces in the video (affiliate links) ------------------------------------ IntegraRack IR-D1 Super Sealing Multi-Surface Deck Mounted Bracket: https://www.currentconnected.com/prod...
