Two solar mounting manufacturers work together to create the Gator MountTM offering more choices for solar installers

Schletter Inc. and Quick Mount PV, two U.S. manufacturers of solar photovoltaic (PV) mounting systems, announce the Gator Mount, a new product that makes Quick Mount PV's composition roof mounting technology compatible with Schletter's Solar Mounting Rails.

The Quick Mount PV Gator Mount attaches to the roof with a single hanger bolt through the company's patented QBlock, an integrated all-aluminum flashing, mounting block, and elevated water seal. The same hanger bolt also affixes the Schletter Gator Clamp to the solar mounting rails. This results in superior waterproofing and a fast, strong installation.

"We understand that creating more versatility in the products the market uses is a value-add for our customers," said Sven Kuenzel, Vice President of Sales for Schletter. Quick Mount PV's co-founder and COO Stuart Wentworth said, "By partnering with Schletter to offer a customized roof mounting solution for their solar mounting rails, we are jointly able to meet the needs of a wider range of solar installations."
