L-Feet

Standard for ground mount installations, L-feet mount rails to residential and commercial rooftops as well. Use them alone above asphalt composition shingles or in conjunction with flat top standoffs.

Standoffs

Use with SunFrame, SolarMount standard, or SolarMount HD rails. Secure to rafter with 2 lag screws. Secure L-foot or installer-supplied strut directly to standoff with standoff hardware. Especially convenient when installing over a tile roof.

FastFoot™

TheFastFoot attachment for SolarMount, SolarMount Light, SolarMount Heavy Duty and SunFrame features Eco-Fasten technology by the Alpine Snow Guard Company. Attach to metal, concrete and wood decks without compromising the integrity of the roof.

High-profile orientation maximizes module density at your site. Choose tilt angle based on geographic location.

Low-profile orientation minimizes the vertical height of your array. For example, array can be discreetly positioned behind a parapet.

SolarMount can also be custom configured to solve virtually any PV mounting challenge. Custom awnings were developed by our engineers for this residential application.

SolarMount was used to construct this custom carport open structure, intelligently turning real estate into an energy-making opportunity.

Case Study: The Solar Wall, Wales

SolarMount solved two problems faced by designers of the Solar Wall at the Welsh Development Agency Technology Center in St. Asaph, North Wales. It allowed clear ventilation behind the panels, minimizing operating temperatures and thus maximizing output. SolarMount bottom-mounting clips also secured PV modules from behind, giving the array a smooth external finish.

Unirac Large Array

UniRac Large Arrays start at 3 kilowatts, but their size is limited only by the size of your ground site or the structural strength of your flat roof. We design U-LAs for a wider range of site and climactic challenges than any other PV structure on the market.
