Single-Arm Mounts

Optimized Side-of-Pole Mounting for Compact Solar Applications

When it comes to small-scale solar installations—especially those requiring space efficiency and fast deployment— Single-Arm Mounts deliver the perfect balance of strength, simplicity, and adaptability.

Ideal for residential, commercial, and off-grid setups that require a streamlined solution, these mounts are an essential component for securely affixing solar panels to a side-of-pole structure.

At Solamp, we provide durable and field-tested Single-Arm Mounts specifically engineered to support lightweight solar modules in various applications.

Whether you're powering a remote sensor, a traffic signal, or a communications device, our mounting solution offers a reliable and easy-to-install option that keeps your solar system performing at its best.

What Are Single-Arm Mounts?

Single-Arm Mounts, also referred to as UNI-SA mounts, are specially designed side-of-pole mounting solutions that utilize a unique clamping system.

Unlike traditional solar mounts that attach through the panel's factory-drilled frame holes, Single-Arm Mounts clamp securely to the inside of the solar module's extrusion channel.

This offers a universal fit for many panel types while eliminating the need for hole alignment.

They're particularly popular for small-panel installations ranging from 5W to 150W and are commonly used in off-grid, utility, or small-scale residential applications where space is limited and mounting flexibility is required.

Why Choose Single-Arm Mounts from Solamp?

With more than 20 years in the solar industry, we understand that not every solar application fits into the standard mold.

That's why our Single-Arm Mounts are crafted to adapt to unique installation scenarios where precision, durability, and speed of setup are critical.

Key Advantages:

• Universal Fit: Designed to clamp onto the inside extrusion of the solar panel frame—no pre-drilled mounting hole dependency.
• Side-of-Pole Efficiency: Ideal for use on poles sized 2" to 4" (schedule 40) for ease of integration in field setups.
• Robust Materials: Made from corrosion-resistant aluminum or steel for lasting outdoor performance.
• Tool-Free Adjustment: Mounting arms and brackets can be quickly adjusted to fine-tune panel tilt and orientation.
• Lightweight & Compact: Optimized for quick transportation and minimal wind resistance.
• Easy Installation: No need for special tools or labour-intensive setup—perfect for DIYers and field technicians alike.

Understanding Mount Sizing for UNI-SA Models

The UNI-SA mount is slightly different from other side-of-pole mounts because it doesn't use the panel's mounting holes. Instead, it clamps directly to the internal edges of the module's frame (referred to as the "inside extrusion dimension").

Since this internal dimension is not usually listed in a panel's datasheet, the standard Tamarack Solar Sizing Chart cannot be used to determine the right UNI-SA mount size. Instead, physical measurement of the panel's internal channel is recommended.

To Determine the Right Size:

Measure the inside extrusion dimension of the solar module's frame.

Match it with the appropriate UNI-SA model as per Solamp's technical support guidance.

Ensure the total weight and size of the panel is within the mount's specifications. Use Cases and Applications

Benefits of Using Single-Arm Mounts

Versatility Across Brands

Works with a wide range of solar panel manufacturers, as the mount uses clamp-style installation.

Cost Efficiency

Eliminates the need for custom racking systems, saving on both materials and labor.

Reduced Installation Time

Perfect for rapid deployment scenarios, particularly in emergency response or field work.

Improved Panel Security

Clamp-style connection provides better resistance to vibration and movement than basic brackets.

Adaptable Orientation

Allows vertical or horizontal mounting depending on the solar panel and installation site.

Installation Tips

Ensure your pole is securely fixed and leveled before mounting.

Use stainless steel hardware for corrosion resistance and long-term durability.

Always measure the inside extrusion of your solar panel before purchasing to ensure compatibility.

Avoid overtightening the clamps to prevent damage to the module frame.

Check alignment and tilt based on geographic location for optimal sun exposure. Who Should Use Single-Arm Mounts?
