Side of Pole Mounts

Side of Pole Mounts – Secure and Versatile Solar Panel Mounting for Every Application

• When it comes to installing solar panels in off-grid or rural areas, where ground or roof mounting may not be ideal, Side of Pole Mounts offer an efficient, sturdy, and cost-effective solution.
• These mounting systems are designed to attach solar panels directly to existing poles, such as utility poles or structures already in place on your property.
• Available at solampio.com, our collection of Side of Pole Mounts is engineered for maximum flexibility, supporting various panel sizes and pipe diameters.
• Whether you're powering a remote water pump, off-grid cabin, or telecommunications station, these mounts deliver reliable solar alignment, long-term durability, and ease of installation.

What Are Side of Pole Mounts?

• Side of Pole Mounts are solar racking systems that allow photovoltaic (PV) panels to be mounted on the side of an existing round pole—typically between 2" and 4" in diameter using standard schedule 40 pipe.
• This mounting method is ideal for applications where traditional ground or roof mounting is not possible or not desired.

They are especially useful for small-scale solar installations such as:

• Battery-powered lighting
• Remote monitoring stations
• Agricultural pumps
• Traffic systems
• Security cameras
• Small cabins or backup systems

• Quick and Easy Installation
  All mounts come pre-configured with stainless steel fasteners and aluminum rails for fast setup.
• Versatile Panel Compatibility
  Multiple mounting rail lengths and hole spacing options ensure a perfect fit for most solar modules on the market.
• Weather-Resistant Construction
  Built from durable materials, these mounts are made to withstand harsh climates, UV exposure, and corrosion.
• Pole Compatibility
  Supports 2" to 4" Schedule 40 pipe (a commonly available type of galvanized steel pipe), simplifying hardware sourcing.
• Compact and Clean Aesthetic
  Minimalistic design blends into existing infrastructure, ideal for public spaces or sensitive environments.

  Power essential loads like lighting, refrigeration, and communications where roof mounting isn’t feasible.
• Agricultural Applications
  Mount solar panels to power irrigation controllers, electric fences, and sensors in remote fields.
• Security and Surveillance Systems
  Power cameras, motion sensors, or alarms with solar energy in rural or temporary setups.
• Street Lighting and Traffic Signals
  Frequently used by municipalities to solar-power street lights or traffic systems on existing poles.
• Water Pumping Systems
  Ideal for use with solar-powered water pumps in farms or remote livestock areas.

Benefits of Using Side of Pole Mounts

• Space-Saving
  Mounting on an existing pole eliminates the need for additional structures, saving space and reducing ground disturbance.
• Improved Panel Orientation
  Elevating solar panels on poles helps achieve better sun exposure, especially in shaded or uneven terrain.
• Cost Efficiency
  Reduces mounting hardware cost compared to ground-mount systems, especially for small arrays.
• Easy Retrofit
  Perfect for upgrading existing systems or integrating solar with pre-existing poles or posts.
• Minimal Groundwork Required
  No need for concrete pads or trenching—ideal for quick installations.

Installation Tips

• Ensure the pole is securely anchored and vertically aligned before mounting.
• Use anti-seize compound on stainless fasteners to avoid galling.
• Adjust tilt angle for seasonal changes (where applicable).
• Use correct torque on bolts to meet wind and structural load ratings.
• Check module weight and wind rating compatibility before final selection.
