Virgin Island Solar Support for Shipping Containers, holds 96″ wide solar

$1,299.00

Description

Collapsible solar structures  for two solar modules.  Ideal for installation on CONEX shipping containers in high wind locations. All modules face same direction.   This system has two cross beams and can accept 2 solar modules within the 96″ span.

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 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.

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