Strut Channel Solar Mounting
UL 2703 listed solar mounting designed for standard 1-5/8" strut channel. Use familiar, readily available strut as the rail with SolFX solar-specific clamps, connectors, engineering, and code compliance.
A Familiar Platform, Built for Solar
Standard 1-5/8" strut channel is widely used throughout electrical and mechanical construction. SolFX uses that familiar, readily available platform as the rail for a complete solar mounting system.
SolFX adds the solar-specific components, engineering, and UL 2703 listing needed to create a code-compliant mounting solution without requiring a proprietary rail platform.
What Is Strut Channel Solar Mounting?
Strut channel solar mounting uses standard structural channel as the rail that supports and connects photovoltaic modules to the building structure. Instead of relying on a proprietary solar rail, the system uses widely available 1-5/8" strut channel commonly found in electrical and mechanical construction.
SolFX adds solar-specific module clamps, rail connectors, mounting components, engineering, and UL 2703 listing to turn standard strut channel into a complete solar mounting system.
Why Use Strut Channel for Solar Mounting?
Widely Available
Standard 1-5/8" strut channel is readily available through electrical and industrial supply channels.
Familiar to Installers
Electricians and contractors already work with strut channel, standard hardware, and common installation tools.
Flexible Procurement
Compatible strut can be sourced locally or through existing suppliers instead of relying on a proprietary solar rail supply chain.
Built for Code Compliance
SolFX provides the solar-specific components, engineering, and UL 2703 listing needed to use compatible strut channel as part of a listed solar mounting system.
UL 2703 Listed Solar Mounting for Strut Channel
Solar mounting involves more than mechanically attaching photovoltaic modules to a structure. The mounting system also plays an important role in bonding and grounding, mechanical loading, and fire classification.
The SolFX Solar Strut Mount is UL 2703 listed for use with compatible standard 1-5/8" strut channel. This provides installers, designers, and code officials with a listed solar mounting solution built around a familiar strut platform.
