UNIRAC SOLARMOUNT

UniRac’s SolarMount is a fast, easy, 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.

Lower-cost SolarMount Light Rail employs 38 percent less aluminum than SolarMount Standard Rail, yet it’s more than strong enough for flush applications. Use the same top mounting clamps and footing components that make SolarMount Standard Rail so easy to install.

Once you’ve selected the PV modules and planned your installation layout, you’re ready to choose SolarMount components. The chart on the following page shows what components to use if you are bottom-mounting the modules. The chart on page 30 shows what parts to use if you are top-mounting the modules. If you need tilt legs for the mounts, see the explanation on pages 36-37. Rail and parts to complete your mounting system can be found on pages 31 to 34.

When sizing is complete, rails, splices, and L-feet may be ordered in two ways: In kits or in bulk. 2- and 4-rail kits on page 31 contain just the right quantities of each component for a given installation.

The 8-piece bulk rail bundles on page 32 require 4 bottom-mounting clips (page 33) for every module to be mounted, and the addition of L-feet and splices when necessary.
 

UniRac SolarMount rails can
be mounted vertically or horizontally
 

 

 

 

 

 


Choose a Top-Mounting 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 Multi-Connect cables. Select bottom mounting clips if you
plan to attach modules to rails prior to final installation. This sequence is well suited for modules that 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.

UniRac SolarMount Standard Rail and Light Rail Kits

Each kit mounts a single row of modules and consists of rails plus L-feet and hardware to attach feet to rails. Splice bars are also included in four-rail kits. To determine row lengths required for your installation, see the sizing chart on this page for arrays with
top mounting clamps, or above on page 29 for arrays with bottom mounting clips. Rails, L-feet, and splices are clear-anodized.

Easy handling Light Rail saves aluminum and expense without compromising structural integrity. Install an array flush to a roof
or other mounting surface with footings up to 48 inches apart. Mount rails parallel or perpendicular to rafters.

Where foot spacing must exceed 48 inches, Standard Rail provides the extra strength needed. Install an array flush to a roof or
other mounting surface in high profile (rails parallel to rafters) or low profile.

With both Light and Standard Rail, there are accessories to handle special circumstances, such as Spanish tile or an uneven roof.

2-rail kits in lengths up to 216 inches

Each kit contains two rail segments equal to the row length, L-feet, and hardware to join L-feet to rails.

Rail kits 106 inches and shorter ship by UPS. Longer rail sets ship by truck freight. To make up long rail kits that are UPS shippable, use two rail kits of 106 inches or less plus a splice
.
See above tables to determine the rail length required for modules being mounted.
