Side of
Pole Solar Panel Mounts
Side of pole
mounts for most popular brands of solar modules
 There
are a wide variety of installation methods for MAPPS
solar power systems. Systems from 10 Watts to 480 Watts can
easily be mounted on vertical poles ranging from 2" to telephone
poles. Many versions are shown below from single module mounting
structures (links to below) to multiple module mounting structures
on larger poles. Larger RAPS™
solar systems can be ground mounted, mounted on the side of
a steel tower, mounted on the top of poles, mounted on cross arms
with dual vertical poles, or mounted on trailers. Examples of these
installations are shown below. We can design virtually any size
system for a fixed or portable application anywhere in the world.

Single Module
Side of Pole Solar Mounting Design: For smaller systems ranging
from 10 Watts to 130 watts. Typically used for small RTU/SCADA systems,
wireless data, RFID Sensors, wi-fi repeaters, traffic monitoring,
tower obstruction LED lighting, MET tower LED sidelights, infra-red
security, various wireless OEM applications, and rural habitation
for developing country projects.
Formed aluminum
parts are made of 5052-H32 aluminum. All extrusions used are 6061-T6
structural alloy. Corners are coped, edges are sanded and holes
are deburred. Stainless steel module mounting hardware and rack
assembly hardware are provided with each rack.

WINDLOADING
CAPABILITY
Standard models
are designed and warranteed to withstand windloads of 30 lbs. per
sq. ft. (approximately 90 mph). Designs capable of withstanding
greater loads are available for high-wind areas.
MOUNTING
Side-of-Pole
Mounts are attached to the pole with stainless steel band clamps
(provided).
Two or four band clamps are used depending on the design. Series
AL-22 and PS-28 come with band clamps for 3” to 5” OD
poles. All other racks are supplied with clamps for 2” to 4”
OD poles. Many other sizes are available; please specify pole sizes
when ordering. These racks can also be u-bolted or lag-bolted to
poles (square or round) and to the sides of buildings or other vertical
surfaces. Brackets are also available for mounting to ROHN towers
and wood telephone poles.
