Description
- This application claims the benefit of U.S. provisional application No. 61/775,531, filed Mar. 9, 2013, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.
- The present invention relates to solar equipment and, more particularly, to a solar equipment mounting system and solar mount cap.
- When installing a solar mount system it is difficult to make all the poles level and plumb. This is especially the case when installing a two pole or multiple systems that may not line up properly causing the installer time to realign or redo the systems. Current systems installers need to make sure the poles are level and plumb when they are placed in the ground or cement. If the current systems installer poles are not level, they will have to be either cut, realigned, or shim the poles. If these actions are not taken, the installer will have to settle for an inferior aligned system. Systems currently used do not have the proper clearance or set screw spacing to allow for adjustment making it difficult to set level and plumb in relation to each other.
- As can be seen, there is a need for a solar equipment mounting system and adjustable solar mount cap that allows installers to quickly plumb and level one or multiple arrays of poles in line without having to reset the poles for a proper looking and performing system.
- In one aspect of the present invention, a solar equipment mounting system comprises: a solar mount cap comprising; a pipe having a lower side and a top end, wherein the the lower side of the pipe has at least one hole; a plate attached to the top end of the pipe; and a mount racking bracket attached to the plate.
- In another aspect of the present invention, a solar equipment mounting system comprises: a solar mount cap comprising; a pipe having a lower side and a top end, wherein the the lower side of the pipe has at least one hole; a plate attached to the top end of the pipe; and a mount racking bracket attached to the plate; and a top mount bracket attached to the mount racking bracket of the solar mount cap, wherein the top mount bracket has at least one top mount bracket hole.
- In a further aspect of the present invention, a method for installing solar equipment comprises: placing a solar mount cap over a rigid conduit pole and conduit coupling, wherein the solar mount cap is defined by solar mount cap comprising a pipe having a lower side and a top end, wherein the the lower side of the pipe has at least one hole; a plate attached to the top end of the pipe; and a mount racking bracket attached to the plate; inserting at least one set of set screws into the at least one hole in the solar mount cap, wherein at least one jamb nut is placed between the at least one hole and the at least one set screw; adjusting the at least one set screw to plumb and level the solar mount cap; attaching a top mount bracket to the top end of the solar mount cap, wherein the top mount bracket has at least one top mount bracket hole; adjusting the angle of the top mount bracket; and securing a solar panel mount system rail within the space of the top mount bracket.
- These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following drawings, description and claims.

In certain embodiments, the size of the parts may depend on the size of the standardrigid conduit pole 28 andconduit coupling 32. The components listed above may allow for thesolar mount cap 10 to be properly level and plumb for the remainder of the solar racking systems. - A method of using the solar equipment mounting system may include the following. The height of a
rigid conduit pole 28 may be adjusted, while theconduit pole 28 is set in footing as needed with theconduit coupling 32 positioned on top of theconduit pole 28. Thesolar mount cap 10 may be installed over theconduit coupling 32. The at least oneset screw 18 may be used to level and plumb thesolar mount cap 10. Once the at least oneset screw 18 may be in place, the at least onejamb nut 20 may be tightened. This process may level a single system and may keep multiple systems on one plane, making the final product look and perform well. In certain embodiments, the solar equipment mounting system may be able to plumb and level other pole mounted structures. - In certain embodiments, the solar equipment mounting system may allow systems to be positioned at different angles for either time of year, geographical locations or the like. The
top mount bracket 12 may adjustably rotate around the axis of themount racking bracket 46 as is shown inFIG. 3 . The solar equipment mounting system may allow for plumbing and leveling of the rack after the main poles have been set. The height of theconduit pole 28 may be adjusted using theconduit coupling 32. An individual may further plumb the system using the at least oneset screw 18 in thesolar mount cap 10. Thesolar mount cap 10 and mounting components may be used with a standard electrical strut for the solar rack, standard conduit for the main support poles and standard conduit for the lower support poles.
