Light pole photovoltaic panel bracket

How many solar panels can be installed on a single pole?

Pole Mounts are used for a single solar panel or multiple solar panels and can be configured for side-of-pole or top-of-pole installation of up to 12 solar panels in an array on a single pole.

What is a top-of-pole mount kit?

RPS 8 Panel Top-of-Pole Mount Kits are compatible with customer supplied 4 1/2" OD Schedule 40 pipe. Sink pipe into cement like a fence post and all the hardware to mount panels will be included. It provides two sections of 81in of rails and is designed to mount eight 100W panels (Note, mount is not compatible with larger wattage panels).

What is the best solar array mounting solution?

Sometimes the best and most adjustable solar array mounting solution is a Top-of-Pole mount. Our lines of Top-of-Pole Mounts are high-quality structures with heavy steel mounting sleeves and elevation pivots The module rails are a mill-finish structural aluminum angle. These mounts include stainless steel module mounting hardware as well.

What are solar module mounting rails made of?

Hardened bolts are used to lock the mounting sleeve to the pole. All parts are mig-welded, burrs are removed, corners are coped, and edges are sanded. All steel parts are coated with two coats of industrial urethane enamel paint. Solar module mounting rails are made of mill-finish 6061-T6 structural aluminum angle or channel.

What type of hardware does a top-of-pole rack have?

Standard rack assembly hardware is zinc-plated Grade 5. A stainless steel hardware upgrade is optional. All standard Top-of-Pole Mounts have six tilt-angle settings from 15° to 65° in 10° increments. The elevation adjustment is positive locking in each position eliminating the possibility of slippage.

What type of pipe do you use for a solar array?

This design method is used to elevate the solar array when there is snow drift accumulation. Smaller systems use 4"-6" Schedule 40 steel pipe. Larger systems typically use utility telephone poles. Typical applications are microwave repeaters, cellular repeaters, tower obstruction lighting and microwave relay stations.
