Glove-Friendly Components
Aire Lock® clamps are free-standing and universal, with Twist-n-Click® Technology for easy placement. The clamps do not impede wires in the tray below and they provide clean aesthetics with 1/2-inch module gaps. -
Fully-Certified Cable Tray
Aire® is the only system listed as a cable tray. It uses NEC-compliant rail, with NEMA VE1 and C2.22 ratings. The high-strength open channel sheds water to keep wire connectors high and dry, while Wire Clips tame unruly PV & DG cables. -
Hassle-Free Rail Alignment
The Aire Dock® works with all of our attachments for composition shingle, tile, and metal roofs. The integrated bolt drops into open slots, allowing the rail to click-in and then easily Slide-n-Glide® into the optimal position.
