Install solar panels and want to get the most out of the sun? In addition to the quality of the panels themselves, the Solar Panel Adjustable Tilt Mount that can adjust the angle is definitely a key point that cannot be neglected! If the rack is not chosen well, the power generation efficiency will be reduced at best, and the panels and racks will fly away on windy days. So how should this adjustable bracket be selected?
Hot-dip galvanized steel is the most common and durable choice. Suitable for humid, coastal or industrially polluted areas. When buying, be sure to check whether it is hot-dip galvanized, cold-dip galvanized or ordinary painted iron rack, which is very easy to rust. It has high strength and relatively affordable price.
The aluminum alloy Solar Panel Adjustable Tilt Mount itself does not rust, is very light, and is very convenient to carry. It is very light, has good corrosion resistance, and is usually more beautiful.
The most important thing about the bracket is that it can adjust the angle. How to adjust it directly affects whether it is convenient for you to use it in the future.
Manual latch type
The manual latch type is the most common. There are many holes on the side of the rack. When you want to adjust the angle, pull out the latch, lift the bracket to another hole, and then insert it back to fix it. It has a simple structure, low cost, and is not easy to break.
Push rod adjustment
The push rod adjustment relies on rotating a long metal rod or hydraulic push rod to adjust the angle infinitely. The adjustment accuracy is high, it can be fine-tuned, and it can be operated by standing on the ground with a wrench or special tools.
Seasonal fixed type
Strictly speaking, the seasonal fixed type is not adjustable at any time. It is mainly designed to have an optimal angle for winter and summer. It is fixed during installation and manually adjusted once when the season changes. This structure is the simplest and cheapest.
It is super important to adapt your Solar Panel Adjustable Tilt Mount! The rack is for the panel and must fit perfectly! Before buying, be sure to confirm that the mounting hole spacing of the bracket is completely matched with the mounting holes reserved on the back of your solar panel. Don't take it for granted! Use a ruler to measure the holes of the board and check carefully against the specification table of the bracket. Mismatch? Either it can't be installed, or it's not stable if you force it.
The rated load-bearing capacity of the bracket must be greater than the total weight of a single solar panel in your home! This weight must include
the weight of the board itself
the weight of the snow on it
the additional wind pressure generated by strong winds
Don't just look at the weight of the Solar Panel Adjustable Tilt Mount! The load-bearing parameters marked by the merchant include the basic safety factor, but in places with heavy boards, heavy snow, and strong winds, choose models with higher load-bearing capacity, safety first!
The rack itself must be strong and stand firmly! How to fix it to the ground or roof is also related to the design of the bracket
Ground installation requires digging a pit to make a concrete foundation pier, or fixing it with anchor bolts. The design of the bracket base should be able to connect these foundations conveniently and firmly.
Special clamps are often used to fix the bracket rails on color steel tile roofs. The bracket must be able to be firmly connected to the clamp.
The concrete roof may use a counterweight to press the bracket base, or directly fix it with expansion bolts. The bracket base should be designed to be able to press heavy objects or be fixed with holes.
Installation convenience is also very important. The cleverly designed Solar Panel Adjustable Tilt Mount has standardized parts as much as possible, clear installation holes, and simple and clear instructions, which can save a lot of installation time and labor costs.
