The Tamarack Solar TTP-A-6-70 Top of Pole Mount provides a rugged, adjustable, and highly efficient solution for mounting up to six solar modules on a single 6-inch Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 steel pole. Designed for durability and flexibility, this heavy-duty mount is ideal for off-grid systems, ground-mounted arrays, and remote installations where pole mounting is preferred.
Features
- Holds up to 6 solar panels (maximum array area of 149 sq. ft.)
- 140-inch rails support modules up to 46.16 inches wide
- Adjustable tilt angle from 10° to 60° for year-round solar optimization
- Heavy-duty steel structure with Tamarack 3.1 aluminum module rails ensures long-term strength and corrosion resistance
- Engineered for high performance — withstands up to 160 mph wind speeds and 200 psf snow loads*
- Universal fit for module frame depths between 30 mm – 40 mm
- Easy ordering — no need to send module datasheets or complex sizing documents
- UPS-shippable in multiple boxes for lower freight costs
- Mounts to a 6-inch Schedule 40 or 80 steel post (user-supplied)
- Module rails attach to 2-inch Schedule 40 or 80 horizontal steel pipe (not included)
- Purchase pipe locally to reduce shipping costs, or use Tamarack Pipe Kits for pre-cut compatibility
- For modules up to 78 inches long: use two 10-ft pipes
- For modules up to 98 inches long: use two 12-ft pipes
What our Experts Think
- Heavy-duty top-of-pole solar mounting system: Designed to securely hold up to 6 solar panels (≈149 sq. ft. total array size) on a single pole structure.
- Flexible compatibility: Supports modules up to 46.16 inches wide with standard 30–40mm framed solar panels, making it widely compatible with modern PV modules.
- Strong structural engineering: Built with steel framework + aluminum rail system, engineered for long-term durability in harsh outdoor environments.
- High wind & snow rating: Rated for up to 160 mph wind speeds and heavy snow loads, depending on pole and installation configuration.
- Wide tilt adjustment (10°–60°): Allows installers to optimize solar angle for maximum energy production throughout the year.
- 6-inch schedule steel pole design: Mounts on a user-supplied 6" Schedule 40/80 steel pole, ideal for ground-based solar arrays with elevated positioning.
- Installer-friendly design: Pre-engineered system reduces layout complexity and speeds up installation with standardized rail lengths and clamp systems.
Q&A
Q1: What is the Tamarack TTP-A-6-70 used for?
A: It is a top-of-pole solar mounting system designed to securely install up to 6 solar panels on a single pole, ideal for off-grid homes, farms, and commercial solar setups.
Q2: How many solar panels can it hold?
A: It supports 6 modules (solar panels) with a total array size of up to about 149 sq. ft.
Q3: What size panels are compatible?
A: It fits modules up to approximately 46.16 inches wide, depending on configuration and frame type.
Q4: What pole size is required?
A: It is designed for 4-inch or 6-inch Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 steel poles, depending on wind and snow load requirements.
Q5: Can the angle be adjusted?
A: Yes. The system has an adjustable tilt range of 10° to 60°, allowing seasonal optimization for maximum solar production.
Q6: Is it suitable for harsh weather?
A: Yes. It is built with heavy-duty steel construction and engineered for high wind and snow load resistance, making it suitable for rugged outdoor environments.
Q7: Why choose a top-of-pole mount instead of roof mounting?
A: It provides better airflow, higher efficiency (optimal sun tracking angle), easier maintenance access, and avoids roof penetration, making it popular for off-grid systems.
Maintenance Tips
- Inspect all structural bolts, rail clamps, and fasteners regularly and tighten to manufacturer torque specs to maintain structural stability under wind and snow loads.
- Check the pole foundation and vertical 6" Schedule 40/80 steel pole for corrosion, rust, shifting, or loosening—especially after storms or high winds.
- Ensure all module clamps remain securely locked on frames (30–40mm standard) to prevent panel movement or vibration damage.
- Keep the aluminum rails and steel structure clean from dust, salt, bird droppings, and debris to prevent long-term corrosion buildup.
- Inspect solar modules mounted on the structure for microcracks, glass stress, or frame warping caused by wind load or improper tension.
- Verify tilt mechanism (10°–60° adjustment system) is fully locked after seasonal changes and not loosening over time.
- Check grounding continuity between rails, clamps, and modules to ensure proper electrical bonding and system safety.
- Remove vegetation or objects around the pole base to prevent shading and allow airflow around the structure.
- Perform a full structural inspection at least once a year, including re-torquing all major load-bearing bolts
