Solar Installation Safety Rail Kit: All You Need to Know

It&#;s true that the interest in renewable and clean energy is growing. It is reported that the market share of renewables in electricity generation jumped from 27% in to 29% in . And the global renewable electricity generation was also more than 8% to reach 8 300TWh in , which was the fastest yearly growth since the s.

The rise of renewable energy generation has been leading to the installation of rooftop-mounted solar energy panels in Australia. However, the problem with these panels is that they pose potential fall hazards. Falls are probably the most common hazard associated with solar installation and maintenance. Thus, such installations require special attention to avoid high-hazard conditions.

Solar Installation Safety Rail Kit

The solar installation safety rail kit is a great solution for solar panel installers. It provides 11 meters of railing and comes with brackets for both metal and tile roofs. This kit can also be installed as two separate sections of 5.8 metres.

The safety kit includes 6 5.8 metre lengths of aluminium alloy rail, that are built from structural aluminium alloy -T6, 5 aluminium posts, 5 metal screw down brackets (for metal roofs) and 5 resto brackets (for tile roofs). Our unique system has the rails crossover at the posts, which allow the rail to be attached with no need for joiners.

Below are some key features of the safety equipment for solar installation:

• Lightweight and quick to install
• Simple structure with fewer components
• No additional cutting
• Applicable for flat or pitched roofs (0-35 degrees)
• Compatible with various solar modules

When it comes to the solar installation safety rail kit, safety and aesthetics don&#;t have to be mutually exclusive. It has plenty of features that make it a great-looking safety solution. For instance, the safety railing is less visible and blends well with its surroundings. There are no breaks in the safety railing, which makes it look well-integrated into the building environment.

I'm building a Unistrut DIY rooftop mount for my panels. I too strained and stressed over the different mount solutions, and I found that all engineered rails were expensive and were made with code compliance and inspections in mind. I'm rural, so inspections and permits aren't as big a problem. I saw the pipe-based rails some have mentioned, but I wasn't happy with the panel to pipe interface possibilities and rust(!) was definitely going to be an issue with steel pipe. Wood was out of the question.

The choice came down to Aluminum or Galvanized steel Unistrut. The cheapest I was able to find Al Unistrut was about $70 per 10' for 1-5/8"x1-5/8" slotted strut. With shipping from Grainger it was about $ for 15 struts. Galvanized was $450 from Home Depot in my neighborhood and I could take it home right off the shelf in my truck. So galvanized it was.

I chose Quickbolt mini flashing and their lag bolts as the mounting hardware solution. Low cost and minimal install work for my asphalt shingle roof type. I had to find a way to properly tie the quickbolt to the unistrut spacer (simply a cut piece of regular strut 4" long) so I settled for a combination of 1" stainless washers, stainless lockwashers, and the stainless nuts provided by quickbolt. I would then mount the unistrut rail to the unistrut spacer with a stainless spring nut and another lockwasher and washer and stainless bolt. (Pics soon!) I didn't use square washers or the solar panel strut washers Unistrut offers since I couldn't find them in stainless steel.

Piecing together the mounts and hardware was a minor engineering exercise, but I was able to source aluminum panel clamps, 316 Stainless bolts, washers, lockwashers, and also stainless spring nuts on Ebay for less than $250 total. Pics coming soon.
