Subject: Solarhooks.com Product Compatibility
Dear Mr. Sessions:
As requested, Applied Materials & Engineering, Inc. (AME) has assessed the compatibility of three
Solarhooks products with commercially available solar racking systems. The purpose of this report is to
evaluate the connection between each racking system and the Solarhooks mounting products.
SAMPLE DESCRIPTION
Sample hardware was delivered to our laboratory on April 27, 2017. Three racking systems, one
manufactured by SnapNrack, one by IronRidge Inc, and one by Mounting Systems Inc were supplied to
us along with three Solarhooks mounting systems, part #KS-RH-CT5, #KS-RH-CT1, and #CMP-KT.
Appendix A includes a specification sheet for each Solarhooks mounting system.
COMPATIBILITY PROCEDURE
The three Solarhooks mounting system products (#KS-RH-CT5, #KS-RH-CT1, and #CMP-KT) were
assembled with each racking system (SnapNrack, IronRidge, and Mounting Systems) using each racking
system’s corresponding hardware. For example, the SnapNrack racking system was supplied with
SnapNrack bolts and hardware; the connection of the SnapNRack racking system to the Solarhooks
mounting system via the SnapNrack bolts and hardware was assessed. The same procedure was
followed for the Ironridge racking system and Mounting Systems racking system. Each connection
between the various racking systems and Solarhooks mounting systems was evaluated for fit and any
limitations were noted. Appendix B includes photos of the racking systems assembled to the Solarhooks
mounting systems.
