Ground (or Roof) Tilt Mounts
Versatile Mounting for Optimized Solar Performance
- When building an efficient and long-lasting solar power system, choosing the right mounting hardware is just as important as selecting high-quality panels.
- For customers looking for durability, adjustability, and easy installation—Ground (or Roof) Tilt Mounts from Solamp offer the perfect solution.
- Designed to accommodate a wide range of module sizes and applications, these mounts can be installed either on the ground or a rooftop, offering flexibility without compromising strength or alignment.
- Whether you're a homeowner pursuing energy independence or a solar installer managing multiple site types, these adjustable tilt mounts ensure optimal solar exposure year-round.
What Are Ground (or Roof) Tilt Mounts?
- Ground (or Roof) Tilt Mounts are engineered aluminium support structures that secure solar panels on either ground-level footings or directly on a rooftop surface.
- These mounts provide adjustable tilt angles, allowing users to fine-tune their panel orientation to capture the maximum amount of sunlight based on seasonal and geographic variations.
- What sets these mounts apart is their telescoping leg design, robust construction, and compatibility with most solar panel frames that feature rear mounting holes.
- Everything needed from the footing bolts upwards is included—no need for sourcing additional pipes or mounting materials.
Key Benefits of Ground (or Roof) Tilt Mounts
- Dual-Application Flexibility
Install on flat rooftops or open ground spaces without purchasing separate kits for each use case. - Telescoping Back Legs for Adjustable Tilt
Achieve tilt angles from 20° to 60°, optimizing solar performance in summer and winter months. - Easy Single-Tool Installation
With a simplified design and pre-drilled mounting holes, assembly is fast and straightforward using only one tool. - No Extra Materials Needed
All components above the footing come included, eliminating the need for additional pipe or rail purchases. - Strong and Lightweight
Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminium, offering high strength-to-weight ratio and weather durability.

Use Cases for Ground (or Roof) Tilt Mounts
- Residential Systems
Ideal for homeowners with limited roof space or seeking better sun orientation via ground-mounted options. Adjustable tilt ensures better production through the seasons. - Commercial Flat Roofs
Great for buildings with flat or slightly pitched roofs. No roof penetration required in some configurations, reducing structural impact. - Off-Grid Applications
Perfect for cabins, RV systems, or remote telecommunication installations where adaptability and durability are essential. - Backup Power Projects
Used with solar battery systems for backup or emergency power, where secure and efficient mounting is critical.
Installation Highlights
- Position rails on either ground posts or roof surface.
- Align modules according to manufacturer spacing.
- Use the telescoping legs to set your desired tilt.
- Secure with included clamps and hardware.
- No special brackets or pipe cutting required.
Tip: Adjust tilt twice per year (higher angle in winter, flatter in summer) for maximum solar output.
Advantages Over Fixed Mounts
- Better Year-Round Energy Production: Adjustable tilt means more consistent power across seasons.
- More Compact Ground Space Usage: Efficient layout and spacing make better use of available land.
- Ease of Maintenance: Modules are easier to access and clean due to elevation from the ground or rooftop.
- Long-Term Durability: Built to withstand wind, snow, and UV exposure in harsh environments.

Common Questions
Q: Can I install this system on my sloped roof?
A: These mounts are best suited for flat roofs or ground installations. For pitched roofs, a rafter-mounted system might be more suitable.
Q: How do I determine the best tilt angle for my location?
A: A general rule is to set the tilt equal to your latitude for year-round performance, or adjust 10–15 degrees seasonally.
Q: Do I need to purchase additional pipes or poles?
A: No, everything from the footing bolts upward is included in the kit.
Q: Is the mount resistant to corrosion?
A: Yes, the aluminium components and stainless-steel hardware are engineered for long-term outdoor use.
