Product Description
The Solar Rackworks Top‑of‑Pole Mount is a high-quality mounting solution tailored for a compact solar panel setup. This versatile mount leverages Solar Rackworks’ trusted Top‑of‑Pole design, offering both resilience and performance.
Crafted for long-term durability, the mount features powder-coated steel gimbals that provide smooth tilt adjustments, galvanized steel strongbacks for center support, and robust module rails engineered for outdoor exposure.
Beyond its resilient materials, this mount is optimized specifically for a large 350W-460W module (39-48" x 65-81"), enabling bottom-mount installation directly through existing factory holes—no drilling or custom brackets needed.
Adaptability is at the heart of the design. Users can adjust the tilt from 0° up to 60° in discreet 10° increments, allowing fine-tuning for seasonal solar angles and ensuring better energy production throughout the year.
Performance under wind stress is also considered. Although specific wind ratings for the Type‑14 single-module rack are not spelled out, Solar Rackworks typically ensures high wind tolerance across its Top‑of‑Pole lineup—many configurations support at least 90 mph, with heavier-duty options available elsewhere in the series.
Please note: The installer must supply the mounting pole (for example, an 8-inch Schedule 40 or 80 galvanized steel pipe), which is common for Top‑of‑Pole systems—this preserves flexibility across installation sites.
