There are many options for solar panel mountings. These include Unirac. Renusol. L-feet. Pole. Each type comes with its own pros and cons. Before you make a choice, it's important that you understand your options. This article will explore some of the different types of solar panel mountings available.
Unirac
Unirac is a leader in the development and manufacturing of PV mounting systems. There are many options for mounting systems from flashings to roof attachments to accessories. Their customer support is excellent and their products are well-known for quality. They also offer a 25-year warranty. These mounting systems are made in the United States.

Unirac also has professional-grade racking options with guaranteed permit approval, multiple geometry options, and multi-geometry.
Renusol
Renusol panel mountings are a great choice because they offer many advantages. Renusol CS+ systems can be used on flat roofs but can also be installed on other surfaces. This unique mounting system consists of two parts: the base, and the panels.
Renusol’s versatile on-roof mounting systems, the VS+, are suitable for most modern PV module types. They are height-adjustable and feature stainless steel hardware as well as aluminum rails from the 6000 series. The modular design allows for multiple solar panels to be mounted on the same system. The modular system features L-foot mounting rails that can be used on different roof sizes, as well as rail connectors to fit various sizes of PV modules.
L-feet
L-feet mounting kits for solar panels are a great way of securely mounting them on a roof. They can be applied directly to the rafter or fixed with hanger bolts. The spacing between solar panels should be about 18mm. You should ensure that you purchase the correct solar panel mounting kit to fit your roof.
For homes with a shingle roof, L-feet solar panels mounting solutions are an excellent choice. The rain shield is waterproof and easy to install. They are compatible with most solar panels mounting systems.
Pole
There are many kinds of pole solar panel mounts. Each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some mounts are designed to accommodate different panel sizes. Others are made of steel with a powder coating finish. It is crucial to adhere to both local and state building codes in both instances. Some pole mounts may also be able to accommodate different wind exposures. If you live near a high-wind area, it is important to contact a solar energy company.
DPW Solar offers a wide range of pole solar panel mountings. We can even create custom designs for large-scale installations. These poles are compatible with most solar panels currently on the market. They come in sizes ranging from 2" up to 8". These poles can be customized to your specifications. You should be aware that custom-made pole mounted may take six weeks to complete.
Rail-less
There are many advantages to installing solar panels on a roof using rail-less systems. They are cleaner and have a lower profile. DecoTech Roof Integrated Solar systems, for instance, have no rails nor flashing along their edges. Rail-less solar panels are less customizable than the rail-mounted systems. But they have better guarantees and warranties.
Rail-less systems work well on many roof types. They can be installed on an existing roof, and they are generally easier and faster to install than railed systems. They are also easy to wire and set up once installed.
