Generate Accurate Solar Racking Costs in Every Proposal Automatically
Connect IronRidge to SubcontractorHub and system design data flows directly from IronRidge's BOM tool into your proposal — accurate racking hardware costs, correct part numbers, and real pricing, every time. Solar installers stop underestimating racking costs and stop losing margin on hardware they didn't spec correctly.
What Connects Between IronRidge and SubcontractorHub
The specific data flows that eliminate double entry and keep both systems current without extra work from your team.
Bill of Materials to Proposal Line Items
IronRidge's XR100, XR1000, and FlashFoot BOMs generated from your system design sync directly to SubcontractorHub proposal line items with correct part numbers, quantities, and current pricing. The racking cost in your proposal reflects the actual hardware the crew will install — not a rule-of-thumb estimate that erodes margin when prices change.
System Design Parameters to Proposal Scope
Array layout, rail length, attachment point count, and mounting type from IronRidge's design tool sync to the SubcontractorHub job record as scope parameters. Your sales team presents proposals that accurately describe the installation method — building homeowner confidence and preventing scope disputes during installation.
Live IronRidge Pricing Updates
IronRidge pricing in SubcontractorHub updates automatically when IronRidge adjusts hardware pricing. Your proposal templates use current pricing without a manual update cycle — protecting margin when hardware costs rise and keeping proposals competitive when prices drop.
Won Deal Order Readiness
When a SubcontractorHub proposal is marked Won, the linked IronRidge BOM is flagged as order-ready in your IronRidge account. Your procurement team can place the hardware order directly from IronRidge without re-entering the BOM, cutting lead time and eliminating transcription errors that cause wrong parts to arrive on installation day.
How to Connect IronRidge with SubcontractorHub
Connect via IronRidge API Credentials
Enter your IronRidge account API credentials in the SubcontractorHub integrations panel to authorize access to your BOM history and pricing.
Design Your System in IronRidge
Complete your array design and generate the BOM in IronRidge's design tool as you normally would — the integration pulls existing designs rather than changing your design workflow.
Link the IronRidge Design to a SubcontractorHub Job
From the SubcontractorHub job record, search for and link the corresponding IronRidge design — the BOM and pricing populate the proposal automatically.
Review and Send the Proposal
Review the populated racking line items in the SubcontractorHub proposal builder, adjust margin if needed, and send — the hardware is already costed correctly.

Who Uses the IronRidge Integration
Residential Solar Installer Recovering Racking Margin
A residential solar installer using estimated racking costs discovered they were undercharging by $400-700 per job after actual BOM pricing. After connecting IronRidge to SubcontractorHub, every proposal uses the actual BOM cost — recovering $30,000+ in annual margin on 60 installs per year.
Solar Company Proposing Flush vs. Tilt-Up Mounts Accurately
A solar company offers both flush-mount and tilt-up racking on flat commercial roofs. The hardware cost difference between the two approaches is significant. IronRidge's design-specific BOM ensures the correct racking system is costed in each proposal — preventing the common error of quoting a cheaper mount type than the design actually requires.
Solar Installer Reducing Wrong-Parts Delivery Incidents
A solar installer was experiencing 15% of jobs delayed because wrong parts arrived on installation day — traced to manual BOM re-entry errors. The IronRidge-to-SubcontractorHub integration eliminated the re-entry step entirely. Wrong-parts incidents dropped to under 2% within the first quarter.
Multi-Crew Solar Company Standardizing Racking Cost Across Estimators
A solar company with three estimators found inconsistent racking cost estimates across their team — some estimators used rules of thumb, others used outdated price lists. IronRidge BOM sync enforces consistent, current pricing across all estimators automatically, removing the variance.
Common Questions About the IronRidge Integration
Does the integration work with all IronRidge product lines?
The integration supports IronRidge's XR100, XR1000, and FlashFoot mounting systems. Ground mount and carport systems are on the roadmap. Consult our integration documentation for the current supported product list.
What if I use a different racking manufacturer in addition to IronRidge?
The integration is specific to IronRidge. For jobs using other racking manufacturers, you enter racking costs manually in the SubcontractorHub proposal builder. Many installers use IronRidge as their primary manufacturer and cover the vast majority of jobs through the integration.
How often does IronRidge pricing update in SubcontractorHub?
IronRidge pricing syncs daily. For jobs where pricing changes between design and proposal send, the integration uses the most recently synced price — typically within 24 hours of any IronRidge price change.
Can I customize the markup on IronRidge hardware costs in SubcontractorHub?
Yes. The integration pulls IronRidge's dealer cost as the base price. You set your markup percentage for racking hardware in SubcontractorHub's pricing settings — the proposal shows the homeowner the marked-up sell price, not your dealer cost.
Does the integration require an IronRidge dealer account?
Yes. You need an active IronRidge dealer account to access dealer pricing and the API. Contact IronRidge directly to apply for dealer status if you don't already have an account.
