Solar Racking System Applications
Select your option to see more details:
For Hotels/Apartments
- Generally have roof bearing central corridors
- Typically multiple AC units on roof
- Roof is typically supported by 2x style wood rafters
PSS Elevated Racking System
- Mounts to roof rafters near central corridor
- Elevated to mount directly over HVAC
- Spreaders typically distribute load to roof rafters
WSS Elevated Racking System
- Elevated to mounts directly over HV
- Can be positioned over corridor or unit bearing walls
- Spreaders available to distribute load to roof rafters
For Commercial/Industrial Buildings
- Often Tilt-up wall Style
- Wood Sheathing roofs
- Widely spaced Trusses or Glulam Beams
- Concrete roofs are also common
FSS Low Mount Racking System
- Spans up to 25 feet to anchor to trusses and glulam beams
- Very few posts/penetrations - a single post supports up to 10 modules
- Wide post bases available to space out concrete anchors
WSS Elevated Racking System
- Elevated to mounts directly over HV
- Wide post bases available to space out concrete anchors
- Optional reinforced WSS can span 20 feet
FSS Awning Mounted Racking System
- Mounts to Tilt- up building parapet wall
- Mounts to external walls
- No penetrations of roof
For Steel and Low Slope Buidings
- Typically Truss or I- Beam style or Girders
- 20 Ft or more Girder spacing
- Typically Low Slope, with little or No parapet wall
FSS Low Mount Racking
- Spans up to 25 feet to anchor to trusses and I-beams
- Very few posts/penetrations - a single post supports up to 10 modules
- Provides low profile to minimize visibility if desired
- Facilitates the use of sureclamp anchor posts to clamp directly to I-beams
- Also facilitates use of suregrip anchor posts to grip truss upper chords
For Service Stations
- Canopy typically supported by I-beam/WF Girders
- Fire safety is critical
- Low Profile Structure with minimal visibility above Fascia
FSS Low Mount Racking System
- Clamps to girders and purlins - eliminates drilling beams to prevent fire hazard
- Provides low profile to minimize visibility if desired
- Facilitates the use of sureclamp anchor posts to clamp directly to I-beams
- Also facilitates use of suregrip anchor posts to grip truss upper chord
WSS Elevated Racking System
- Applies mainly to service station canopies with a high fascia.
- Clamp style bases are optional equipment for WSS
