General Specialties - Side-of-Pole Mounts for PV Modules
General Specialties Manufacturing Inc. specializes in offering diverse mounting solutions catering to photovoltaic (PV) modules. Their Side-of-Pole (SOP) Mounts are designed to hold 1 to 3 PV modules of any size, making them highly flexible for various applications. These mounts are robust and durable, ensuring secure installation on the side of poles. They find optimal use in areas where ground or roof space is limited, such as telecommunications towers, remote monitoring systems, and agricultural installations. Leveraging quality materials and precise engineering, these SOP mounts provide reliable performance and longevity in harsh environmental conditions. Besides SOP mounts, the company also offers Universal Post Mounts, Roof, Wall, and Ground Mounts, along with custom solutions for large-scale installations. Comprehensive instructional videos and detailed product manuals ensure proper installation and maintenance, enhancing the usability and effectiveness of their mounting systems. The company focuses on delivering solutions that streamline the integration of sustainable energy systems into various infrastructures.Most popular related searches

The Braces
The braces can either be run forward of the panel or back behind which allows greater flexibility in choosing the site for the mount.
Panel Inclination
Panel inclination is controlled through a range of 20 to 90 degrees just by changing the attachment to the brace.
The Channel Cross Pieces
The channel cross pieces are self aligning and notched to securely index at 90º to the mounting post. This minimizes installation time, and also provides a much stronger foundation then a “floating” attachment.
