In terms of cost, solar mounts and racking typically account for about 10% of the total cost of an average solar system. For example, if your solar system cost $10,000, the solar racking system portion would be about $1,000 of the total cost.
The price will depend on the type of solar racking you use, the amount of equipment needed, and labor costs for installation.
The most common technique of module mounting is using a solar panel mounting bracket. Solar Mounting Brackets are heavy-duty equipment, usually made from stainless steel or aluminum. All solar racking and mounting products, whether for the rooftop or ground, must meet strict guidelines to ensure durability and structural integrity to withstand high winds and weather events. Next, we will walk you through the main components that make up racking equipment so you can better understand the structure that will support your solar panels.
Solar panel racking equipment is built with 3 main components:
Roof attachments
Solar clamps
Solar Mounting rails
Each tool plays a key role in how the structure supports your panels, to ensure you get the most amount of solar power out of them.
Roof attachments
The roof attachmentsare the fasteners that will be drilled into your roof in order to secure the racking system in place. roof attachments differ for each roof type,it could be solar roof hook,L foot,standing seams,etc.
Solar clamps
The Solar clamps attach the drilled-in roof attachments to the solar mounting rails. There are a few different solar clamp types for each angle and corner of the solar panel.
Solar Mounting Rails
After drilling into the roof, the roof attachments are then connected to solar mounting rails via module clamps that will then support the solar panels.
Although there are railless racking options available, rails are most commonly used because they can be secured to most roof angles, and because many installers are trained using rail mounting systems.
