6 Module Monopole Mount

[Martyfox]

We have a system installed ~2006 with 8 x 130W modules on a single pole mounting structure made by Unirac. We are now looking to expand the system, but I'm struggling to find anyone who can supply a similar (or identical) mounting system which would hold 6 ~260W modules. Wind and Sun can do a system to mount REC modules, however we were hoping to use other brands.

Anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks

Might be worth talking to BayWa r.e. (aka Dulas) - they do Unirac stuff.

Thanks JulianC. Tried them and they can get the Unirac one, with long lead time, manufactured to order and shipped from the US. They are unable to place small orders, and I'm likely to only need 3. Time's not too much of an issue as it'll be G59 job but sounds like cost might add up or it wont tie in with their other orders.

So that's certainly a possibility, but was looking around for a more convenient alternative.

A little bump for this... Just back from a few days in Berlin and spotted several monopole mounted PV systems, so they must exist!

Anyone else got any manufacturer/supplier suggestions?

Thanks a lot

Have you tried Lorentz?

No, I hadn't considered as they only appear to do trackers...? Not a downside necessarily, for the right price.

Does anyone have data to demonstrate benefit of tracking systems, or rough idea for SE Scotland?
