  • Short installation times
  • Low transport costs
  • Several ballasting options
  • Wind tunnel tested
  • Solar PTL CERTIFIED to UL 2703
  • Salt spray tested

 

Ballast blocks can be placed on the brackets without any fasteners.

In addition to ballasting with ballast blocks, the system can be screwed into various soils with our ground screws, without the use of large machinery, and to withstand high wind loads.

These top of pole mounts are adjustable for seasons, and are wind rated up to 105 MPH.

They are made of powder coated steel with aluminum rails and clips.

IMPORTANT
• Mounting pole not supplied with rack

CAUTION
• It is the installers responsibility to follow all local, regional and national building codes.
• Always call 811 before digging to have all buried cable, water lines and gas lines marked.
• Do NOT install solar array near equipment or in places where flammable gases may be generated.

THE “RULE OF THUMB” GUIDLINES FOR MOUNTING POLE INSTALLATIONS
• It is the installers responsibility to verify all soil conditions.
• Soil conditions vary from region to region
• Soil conditions will determine the actual depth and diameter of the hole and concrete used.
