Shared rail racking has been very much in the news because of the numerous benefits it offers to its customers. If you do not know what shared rail system is, then you must know that rails are used to hold the modules in place and it also eliminates the need of end clamps. They are known to install faster and are compatible with both landscape and portrait installation for all types of roofs.

If you are looking for the top benefits of shared rail system, then there are many. Below given are a few benefits of the shared rail system that makes it good choice over the other systems.

  • Easy to install
  • Simple for designers
  • Compatible with all types of roofs
  • Robust in nature
  • Provides top-notch aesthetics
  • Reduces part counts
  • Comes with integrated grounding
  • Has Roof rafter attachment
  • Standard tools and hardware

The beauty of shared rail racking lies in the fact that they require very less roof penetrations. Hence, there are no risks of floating penetration, which is the common case with rail less penetrations. Since rail rack system comes with integrated grounding, therefore the number of parts in this system is less as compared to end clamp installation. Talking about the training scenario of the rail rack systems, it generally requires less time to train an installer with the use of rail rack system. The complicated part in the installation process is to ensure that the rails are in "square" shape, which can be done with the help of spacer bars.

The major disadvantage of using mid and end clamps are, they are attached to a small part of the panel frame. It can damage the frame panel and cause multiple fractures in it. But since shared rail racking cover the entire side of the panel, therefore the installation process becomes much more simple and effective and also the bond becomes stronger.

The weight of rail rack system is generally more than the rail less system. This system is ideally suited for snow loaded roofs. Since it requires fewer components, hence it reduces strain on the both sides of panel frame. The biggest benefit of using rail racks is, it saves you from roof penetrations. Roof penetrations are costly and can interfere with the security of your house. Therefore, in those situations, shared rail racks are an ideal solution.

When you have known so many benefits of using shared rail racks, then what are you waiting for. Since they are compatible with all types of roofs, you do not need to worry if you are right candidate to use these shared rails. The installation process is very much simple and faster in shared rails as compared to rail less systems.
