Solar Panel Clamps Mounitng Skills

Jun 16, 2020

Solar panel frame clamps are disclosed. The clamps can include a clamp body for coupling together a mounting rail of a solar panel frame and a purlin.

The clamp body may be c-shaped with ends of the clamp body defining an opening for receiving objects to be clamped. The ends of the clamp body may be provided with threaded apertures for receiving a set screw and a set screw bolt.

Tightening the set screw bolt can pull the clamp body towards the objects to be clamped. The set screw, or another suitable feature, may contact the clamped object to facilitate electrical continuity throughout a system incorporating the solar panel frame clamps.       

metal roof solar panel mounting clamps attach to the panel seam by tightening the “bullet-nosed” stainless steel sets crews against the seam material. The setscrews compress the seam material against the opposite wall of the clamp. They will “dimple” the seam material, but will not penetrate it.

Threaded holes in the clamp (and stainless hardware provided) enable the easy attachment of various ancillary items to the clamps. Our clamps are an effective solution to attach solar panels to your metal roof while limiting permanent damage to the attachment area.

Our solar panel mounting kits are available in two varieties: A rackless mounting kit and an L-Foot kit for use with racking systems. Both kits utilize identical roofing clamps to secure panels to the seams of metal roofing panels.

 Each of our kits utilizes our non-penetrating roofing clamps, which helps protect roofing panels from installation damages by eliminating the rotating forces exerted on panels by typical set screws.
