Note: If our panels are not included in your rack order, specify at checkout in the comment box the panel manufacture & model # of the solar panels you intend to use with racking. Racks are module-specific and not universal, which helps to reduce the number of parts. This simplifies assembly and minimizes assembly errors.

If your AHJ (Authority having jurisdiction, (Usually Local Building Department)) requires a custom site specific structural analysis from a Professional State Registered Engineer (PE Wet Stamp on the Drawings) we will be happy to provide a non-site visit PE wet stamp for an additional fee. Additional site specific engineering calculation sheet and wet stamp services are NOT included with the basic kit purchase.
Blue Pacific Solar ®® permit document service is offered as a value added service for our customers only who purchase our grid-tied or off-grid packages of 18 panels [Minimum] or more. The building permit document permitting service service is available for most states to help you get through your local jurisdiction building permit process. Our team of professional designers can provide the documents, blueprints and expertise needed to work with any building department nationwide.
Solar panel kits are packages that include all the necessary components and accessories to install and operate a solar power system. There are different types of solar panel kits, depending on how they interact with the grid. On-off grid kits allow you to switch between using grid electricity and solar electricity, depending on the availability and cost of each source. Hybrid systems combine solar panels with other renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines or batteries, to provide more reliable and efficient power generation.
The allure of solar energy is undeniable. Free, clean, and abundant, the sun's power offers a sustainable alternative to traditional energy sources. If you're considering switching to solar, you'll encounter various mounting options for your panels. Among these, DIY top of pole mounting has emerged as a compelling choice for homeowners and small businesses.
As the name suggests, this system involves mounting solar panels on top of poles securely anchored into the ground. The poles can be made from various materials like steel or aluminum, chosen for their durability and weather resistance. The panels are then attached to rails or frames fixed to the poles using sturdy clamps.
Unlike roof-mounted systems, top of pole mounts offer greater flexibility in placement. You can choose the ideal location on your property, unshackled by roof constraints. This allows you to optimize panel tilt and orientation for maximum sun exposure, potentially boosting energy production.
DIY top of pole mounting systems are generally more affordable than professional installations. You save on labor costs and can choose from readily available and budget-friendly materials. Remember, factor in permitting fees and any necessary electrical work into your calculations.
Compared to roof-mounted systems, top of pole mounts are often easier to install, especially for ground-level access. This simplifies maintenance and cleaning, allowing you to periodically reach and wash your panels without scrambling onto your roof.
Top of pole mounting eliminates the need for roof penetrations, safeguarding your roof's integrity and preventing potential leaks. This is particularly beneficial for older or fragile roofs.
Unlike roof-mounted systems limited to certain roofing materials, top of pole mounts can be installed on various surfaces, including uneven terrain, open fields, and even rooftops with limited suitability for solar panels.
Top of pole mounted systems can add a sleek, modern aesthetic to your property. The clean lines and unobtrusive presence can enhance the visual appeal of your home or business.
While DIY top of pole mounting offers numerous benefits, it's crucial to exercise caution and proper planning. Here are some essential considerations
Check your local building codes and regulations for any permitting requirements for solar panel installations. Obtain necessary permits before starting your project.
Ensure the chosen poles and foundation can withstand the weight and wind load of your solar panel system. Consult a structural engineer if necessary.
While the mechanical installation might be DIY-friendly, the electrical connections should be handled by a qualified electrician to ensure safety and adherence to electrical codes.
Always prioritize safety during installation. Wear proper safety gear, work with a partner, and follow safe lifting practices.
By carefully considering these factors and planning your project thoroughly, you can harness the benefits of DIY top of pole solar panel mounting and enjoy the clean, free power of the sun for years to come.
