Solar Spacer

Yellow Solar Spacer works with 3/4" (20mm) wide mid clamps

Solar spacers create the perfect gaps between solar panels allowing for mid clamps to tighten properly.

Shown here are the black spacers on a rooftop install with IronRidge rail.

Solar spacers are a useful tool for large scale projects.

Solar Spacers are useful for both ground mount and roof mount solar projects.

The Solar Spacers hold the solar panels in place while the installer tightens them down.

Description

The Solar Spacer is a tool designed to assist with the installation of solar panels. This tool ensures that all panels are laid equidistant from each other, thus achieving a consistent, symmetrical pattern

WHY DO I NEED IT?

• Eliminate human error

• Reduce the need to rework an array that isn't symmetrical

• Increase installation efficiency

COMPATIBILITY

The Solar Spacer is available in three different spacing configurations, allowing for compatibility with most racking systems. To determine which spacer is required, refer to the mid-clamp width of the rail you are using.

Black: Provides a vertical gap of 7/16” (10mm) and horizontal gap of 3/4” (20mm) - Compatible with IronRidge

Red: Provides a vertical and horizontal gap of 5/8” (18mm)

Yellow: Provides a vertical and horizontal gap of 3/4” (20mm)

HOW MANY SOLAR SPACERS DO I NEED?

It depends on your average row length. The recommended is 5-20 units per crew.

HOW TO USE

Choose the spacers needed based on the racking you are using.
Install the first panel on your bottom row.
Insert a Solar Spacer on the inside top and bottom edge of the panel to create the required gap at both ends. (make sure the spacer is flush)
Lay your next panel, tighten mid-clamp, and repeat step 2 until your first row is complete.
For each row above, simply insert a spacer on the top corner of each panel in the row below and slide your panel into place.
Remove spacers as you move along by using the built-in handle.
