PV installers and other alternative energy professionals can scrutinize this latest innovation in PV mounting structures at SolarPower 2004 in San Francisco. Both an assembled array and a hands-on gimbal sample are on display at the UniRac booth, no. 18/19 in the Market Street Atrium.
The patent pending gimbal improves on fixed-increment tilt arrangements by facilitating any tilt angle from 0 to 60 degrees from the horizontal. An array is quicker than ever to install, and adjustment is easier, both initially and after installation.
The 6-inch PoleTop also retains the best features of its predecessor:
- SolarMount® HD (heavy duty) rails provide the strength to support an array of up to 1850 watts on a single pole.
- Stainless steel and zinc-plated fasteners will not corrode over time.
- The full array can be rotated on its pole at any time.
- UniRac provides Design Wind Pressure ratings specific to your entire installation, taking into account the type and number of PV modules in addition to the PV PoleTop model.

Introducing RockIt Smart Slide
Introducing RockIt Smart Slide - the ultimate solution for fast and easy installation of the rail-less RockIt racking system on composition shingle roofs. Smart Slide conforms to UL 441 and TAS 100 (A)-95 for wind and wind-driven rain, providing a super-strong watertight seal that is achieved through compression, in most cases without the need for additional sealant. The waterproofing sealant is embedded deep into the granules of the shingle, thanks to the integrated flexible foam layer that provides cushioning. This ensures a secure fit that conforms to any architectural-style shingle. With UltraGrip Technology™, you can rely on a secure installation, as it absorbs the movement created by thermal expansion and contraction. The pre-installed sealing pads are compatible with all composition shingle roofs, making it the ideal choice, even in ambient temperatures as low as 5 degrees.
