Scanifly, A PV design and field operations software, is integrating design with IronRidge, a longtime solar racking and mounting supplier.
Scanifly and IronRidge
The integration automatically transfers Scanifly design data and panel placement directly into IronRidge’s Design Assistant. The direct API (application programming interface) integration connects Scanifly’s design environment with IronRidge’s racking, bill of materials (BOM) and engineering document capabilities. Solar contractors can now select mounting equipment and generate BOMs in just a couple of mouse clicks without recreating their array layouts.
Scanifly’s drone-based technology produces to-scale 3D models with measurements that flow directly into IronRidge Design Assistant.
“In 2026, when solar companies need to be more time and cost-efficient than ever, eliminating wasteful steps is critical,” said Jason Steinberg, CEO of Scanifly. “Scanifly’s focus is on reducing time spent in the solar workflow while never compromising on system accuracy, fitment or maximizing production. Our integration with IronRidge delivers exactly that — connecting precise DroneDesign layouts directly to their racking calculations so contractors can move faster without sacrificing quality.”
This connection combines Scanifly’s photorealistic designs with IronRidge’s suite of mounting projects, ensuring a fit based on actual roof conditions for the XR or Aire racking systems and attachments such as FlashFoot2 or HUG.
“This integration accelerates the path from design to installation by eliminating redundant design work and ensuring accurate racking specifications,” said Tony Lenh, digital product lead at IronRidge. “By removing the need to manually transfer data between platforms, contractors can work faster and with greater confidence that the racking system matches what’s needed on the roof.”
