A
solar pole mount, also known as a
solar panel pole mounting system, is a structure that supports and holds solar panels in a fixed position. It is designed specifically for installations where roof mounting or ground-mounted systems are not feasible or preferred.
The solar pole mount consists of a sturdy metal pole, typically made of steel or aluminum, securely anchored into the ground. The pole is installed vertically, and the solar panels are mounted on horizontal rails or brackets attached to the pole. This setup allows for optimal sun exposure and adjustable tilt angles to maximize energy production.
Solar pole mounts are commonly used in various applications, such as residential, commercial, and utility-scale installations. They are particularly useful in areas with limited roof space or uneven terrain, where ground-mounted systems may be challenging to implement. By utilizing vertical space, pole-mounted systems offer an alternative solution for harnessing solar energy effectively.
