IronRidge, Inc. is a pioneering company in the solar industry, specializing in the design and manufacture of structural hardware for both residential and commercial solar systems. Established in the mid-1990s, IronRidge initially focused on providing solutions for off-grid solar installations during a period when the solar market was mostly developing. Based in Hayward, California, the company has evolved alongside the solar industry, now offering a diverse range of mounting and racking products tailored to meet various installation needs, whether they are on pitched roofs, flat roofs, or ground-mounted systems.
The company's mission is succinctly captured in its slogan, 'Make Solar Stronger®'. This commitment is reflected in the rigorous testing protocols they implement, ensuring that every product meets or exceeds the latest engineering and building codes. With over two decades of experience, IronRidge's solutions are now trusted by thousands of solar professionals worldwide, supporting numerous projects that cumulatively add up to hundreds of megawatts of solar generation capacity.
In September 2019, IronRidge joined forces with Quick Mount PV and EcoFasten, becoming part of the largest group of rooftop solar mounting and racking hardware in the United States. Despite this acquisition, IronRidge continues to operate independently, allowing it to maintain its unique identity, product lines, and operational strategies.
Additionally, IronRidge emphasizes customer support through initiatives like Atlas Academy, which offers on-demand training and certification programs for solar installers, ensuring that they are equipped with the latest knowledge and skills in solar installation techniques. This educational commitment highlights IronRidge's role not just as a product manufacturer, but as an integral part of the solar industry's growth and evolution.
