Our story

Designed by off-gridders who use them every day

We're a family-owned small business on California's Central Coast. We live off grid and designed these mounts because we needed a simple, strong way to put panels on pipe without welding or custom fabrication.

Every bracket is thick zinc coated steel with heavy grade bolts, made to last a lifetime at a fair price.

The components are thick zinc coated steel, very heavy duty and will definitely not bend or break. All hardware was included. It just bolts to the top of a pipe, very easy.

FAQ

Solar pole mount questions

What pipe size do I need?

Top of pole mounts fit 3" (3.5" OD) or 4" (4.5" OD) ground pipe. Array top caps fit 2" (2 3/8" OD) or 2.5" (2 7/8" OD) ground pipe. Both use 2" (2 3/8" OD) pipe for the horizontal cross pipe. Measure the outside diameter of your pipe to be sure.

How many panels can one pole hold?

A top of pole mount holds up to 3 large 300-400W panels or up to 6 100W panels. For more panels, use array top caps across several poles.

Do I need to weld anything?

No. Everything bolts on. The mounts clamp to the pipe with bolts and U-bolts, which are included.

What kind of pipe works?

Standard galvanized schedule 40 or 80 pipe, or oilfield pipe. You can buy it at most hardware and big box stores.

Where do I buy?
