Benefits of Using the Horizontal Top of Pole Mount

1. Superior Structural Strength
   Built with galvanized steel and stainless-steel components, the mount resists rust, deformation, and weather-related wear, making it ideal for harsh outdoor conditions. It can support the weight of up to six large-format solar panels with ease.
2. Year-Round Energy Optimization
   With its easy-to-adjust tilt mechanism, you can modify the angle of your solar array at different times of the year to match seasonal sun angles. This feature enhances solar output and system efficiency.
3. Flexible Sizing Options
   Whether you're using medium or large solar modules, the two clamp sizes available ensure a secure fit. You can mix and match different module sizes as long as they fall within the clamp specifications.
4. Off-Grid and Rural Applications
   This mount is ideal for remote and off-grid solar installations where roof space may not be available. It's commonly used for cabins, agricultural pumps, communication equipment, and backup systems.
5. Cost-Efficient Shipping and Installation
   Unlike many large mounts, this one is designed to ship via UPS, reducing freight costs and delivery times. Its modular parts and included hardware make it simple to assemble without heavy machinery.

Use Cases for the Horizontal Top of Pole Mount

• Remote Homes and Cabins
  Provides a standalone structure where rooftop space or orientation is not viable.
• Agricultural Applications
  Powers water pumps, electric fences, lighting, and monitoring systems in rural settings.
• Commercial and Industrial Sites
  Allows flexible solar installation in parking lots, storage yards, and facility perimeters.
• Telecom and Utility
  Perfect for powering equipment enclosures or off-grid communication infrastructure.
• Mobile and Temporary Systems
  Easily relocatable for construction sites, disaster relief zones, and temporary events.

Installation Tips

• Use a properly anchored Schedule 40 steel pipe (vertical) that can support the full weight of the mount and panels.
• Select a site with minimal shading and a stable surface for pole placement.
• Ensure the tilt adjustment is correctly set for your geographic location:
• Summer: 15°–30°
  • Winter: 45°–60°
  • Spring/Fall: Equal to your latitude
• Use anti-seize compound on bolts for long-term maintenance ease.
• Conduct regular visual inspections to ensure bolts and clamps remain secure over time.
