MT SolarTop of Pole Mounts
MT Solar
brings us a new way of pole mounting your solar array. It's easier, safer, and faster!
This Top of Pole Mount System allows you to assemble at waist level, wire the solar panels at eye level, chain
hoist your array up to the top, and adjust your tilt angle from the ground. No more heavy equipment, cranes,
scaffolding, or large ladders needed! And quick turnaround time too!
NOTE:
All Mounts for 6 Modules and up now come standard with the Hand Crank included.
Smaller Mounts for 4 Modules and under come standard with a Plate Adjuster, as it's easy enough to adjust by hand, without the Hand Crank. The Hand Crank is still available, however, if still desired for these smaller Mounts. See Add-ons below.
All Mounts come with appropriate IronRidge XR rails and UFO Midclamps.
**For endclamps (IronRidge Stoppers), the Module frame size needs to be communicated to Sales Rep, so they know which size to add to the order.
LIGHT version mounts can be used in winds up to 90 mph, at 45 degree tilt and 30 psf. STANDARD vresion mounts are for conditions greater than that.
TALL version mounts are oriented in landscape (ie. TOP-10s are 2 x 5 in landscape or TOP-15s are 3 X 5 in landscape).
Features
Steel frame painted with high grade industrial paint with anodized rails and corrosion-resistant hardware for protection against the elements
Installs over standard Schedule 40 or 80 rigid steel pipe (Installer supplied)
Integrated grounding allows for less parts and labor
Standard rating of 90-105mph Wind, Exposure B, and 30-50psf Snow loads
Heavy Duty Option is available for higher wind/snow loads (140+ mph Wind, 100+ psf Snow) - NA on 4" Mounts
Crank Option allows you to easily adjust tilt angle of your array from 5 to 90 ° from the ground, to maximize your production, and allow for snow shed
Hoist and Lifting Bracket Option allows you to assemble at ground level and chain hoist array to the top, by hand
Available in Single Pole (up to 16 panels), Multi Pole (32 + panels), and Commercial Series Mounts (15kW - 250kW systems)
60-Cell Mounts fit most 60-cell modules approximately 66" long x 40" wide
72-Cell Mounts fit most 72-cell modules approximately 78" long x 40" wide
Ships with IronRidge XR 1000 rails and clamps (except for the smaller mounts which ship with the XR 100 rails)
Optimized for landscape orientation of solar panels
Made in USA (Montana)
10 Year Warranty
NOTE: Image above and image below are showing Crank and Hoist Options. Varies based on the mount you order.
Installation Tips:
Installations should comply with local regulations and requirements. The installer should inspect site conditions such as soil type, wind speed, snow load potentials etc. An Engineering Review can be done, if needed, by MT Solar for an additional fee.
For conventional Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 steel pipe installation, dig hole according to recommended depth and diameter. Once pole is in ground, use level to make sure it's vertical to the ground. Brace pipe to prevent it from moving during the concrete pouring. Allow concrete to cure. Backfill around pole.
Place lifting bracket inside top of pipe, hang the chain hoist from it, then hang the U-bracket on the chain hoist and attach to pole.
Attach the hand crank adjuster to the backplate of the U-bracket, making sure the bolt it tight, but don't over-tighten, to allow for some flexibility movement of the crank adjuster tab.
Continue w/installation of supplied pipes and rails
Install solar panels per rail instructions using top clamps, while leaving out appropriate panel(s) in the middle around the pole. Raise and/or tilt the array to waist height where it is easy to finish the solar panel installation and wiring.
Using the chain hoist, raise the array to the top of the pole, and place the final solar panel in the empty space.
Using an angle finder, adjust the array to the proper tilt with the hand crank
Tools Required: 1 1/8" socket, 3/4" socket, 9/16" socket, crescent wrench, torque wrench, tape measure, angle finder, compass, ladder
Everyoneshouse Profile.
I recently sold my successful solar company that I created around 1992 in the state of Maine. My solar experience in site surveys, design, installations, and maintenance of 300 plus clients, specializing in off grid homes, and owning my own off grid home.
Solar is part of my life and the bonus of meeting so many different client’s needs, remains my quest to see more people enjoy their home with solar.
I have taken advantage of my suppliers for the last 25 years to give you the best price I possibly can. If you don’t find what you need on my site, please tell me what you need and I will do my best to get it for you.
If you are new to solar and need help, feel free to reach out to me. I will be more than happy to design a system for your needs.
I normally ship within two days of receiving payment, however if your item is not readily available I will inform you immediately and make the necessary required changes.
Sincerely
John Myatt
