Description

Collapsible solar structures for solar modules mounted to standard shipping container. Ideal for installation in high wind locations. All modules face same direction. This rafter system can be used to create large array supports, without drilling holes in top of roof. Edge support brackets screw into the side edge, at the top of the side walls.

Brackets are fabricated with stainless steel and rafter and leg is fabricated from electro galvanized steel to increase salt water corrosion resistance.

The solar supports normally use 4-ft long legs on the high end of the array to allow optimum solar exposure. During high wind periods, the optional leg pins can be removed to allow the solar modules to collapse and rest in the flat position to minimize wind resistance. Re-inserted pins prevent uplift due to wind.

Shipping container edge bracket with 2-in tube and safety pin — Array laying flat with 2-in tube and safety pin

Safety Pin for Securing Solar Leg — Optional Safety Pin for Securing Solar Cross Beam to Footing

Solar modules can be of nearly any dimension(modules not included). Distance between leg foundations is 8 ft. Rafter structures are typically for installed on 4-5ft intervals. Centerline of container should align east-west in order to have best performing south- facing solar arrays.

Compatible with Flat Surface Sola-Clamps(patent pending) to secure solar modules to cross rafters(not needed if traditional solar rails are used). The solar clamps work with virtually all solar modules.
