UNIRAC SOLARMOUNT

SolarMount is a fast, easy, and safe way to install a PV array in virtually any roof or ground installation. Bottom mounting clips and tilt legs supplement traditional top mounting clamps. As a result the system accommodates the widest variety of installations and assembly preferences—on the roof and on the ground. Any framed module sold in North America can be mounted using SolarMount.Once you’ve selected the PV modules and planned your installation layout, you’re ready to choose SolarMount components. The chart below shows what components to use if you are top mounting the modules. The chart on the next page shows what parts to use if you are bottom mounting the modules. If you need tilt legs for the mounts, see the explanation on page 29. Rail and parts to complete your mounting system can be found on pages 26 to 29.

Clamp sizes and rail set lengths. When s�installation or in bulk packaging (Pro-Paks). See pages 26 to 28 for pricing. All UniRac components have a 10-year product warranty and a 5-year finish warranty.

Choose a Top or Bottom Mounting System On pitched roofs, mount rails either parallel or perpendicular to the rafters.

Assembly sequence is a common determining factor. Select top-mounting clamps if you prefer to install modules last—after you’ve attached rails to installed footings. This sequence is especially convenient with modules that have MC cables. Select bottom mounting clips if you plan to attach modules to rails prior to final installation. This sequence is well suited whenever modules must be pre-wired. Bottom-mounting clips use space more efficiently because they do not require the 1" space between modules needed by top clamps.

The use of top mounting clamps is generally easier when flush-mounting to a roof. Always use top-mounting clamps when flush mounting to standoffs. If using bottom-mounting clamps with L-feet, follow the installation manual carefully to make sure footing slots are accessible during final installation.

In roof mounts, when using top mounting clamps, no extra roof bracing is needed since rails or mounting feet can be adjusted to match rafter spacing. With bottom-mounting clamps, spacing between the rails depends on spacing between the mounting holes of your particular PV module, and it is unlikely that they will match rafter spacing. In that case, place a stringer over the roof or mounting blocks beneath it. Never attach footings to the sheathing alone—such an arrangement will not meet code and will leave the installation and roof vulnerable to severe damage from wind.

Bottom Mounting Sizing - Rail set lengths

This chart lists the length of the rails required for many common modules. If you need rail sizing for a module not listed below, please contact us.

When sizing is complete, rails, splices, and L-feet may be ordered in two ways: 2 and 4 rail kits on the next page contain just the right quantities for a given installation. The 8-piece bulk rail bundles on the next page require 4 bottom mounting clips (p. 27) for every module to be mounted.
