Why a Seasonally Adjustable PV Mount?

Adjusting the angle of solar panels at various times of the year ensures that the panels maintain a better perpendicular alignment with the sun.

This perpendicular alignment enables the panels see an increased yield of ~15% in winter months and ~25%  in the summer months in comparison to fixed mounting frames.

Solar Panel Mounting Frame Features

Simple Mechanism

The Crown seasonal adjustable PV mounting frame has an easy to use manually operated single axis tilt mechanism. The frame locks into one of three pre-defined positions aligning the panel at the optimum angle for each season. The motion is regulated by dampers to ensure easy and safe use.

Flexible System

The mounting frames are extremely flexible. They can facilitate any number of PV panels that are required. The standard arrangements are in sets of 8 panels. So you can have 8, 16, 24, 32, 40… panels in one continuous row.

Modular Design

Each time you increase by another set of 8 you only require one additional frame and one standing post. This halves the installation time required in preparing new foundations as well as reducing materials. This results in a cheaper price per new installation.

Flat Packed

The ‘Crown PV Mounting Frame’ has been designed to be flat packed. This enables the entire mount to be delivered in one small pack of parts with assembly instructions, fixings, ground roots and foundation jigs.

Foundation Jig

Components from the frame itself are first used to make up a jig. This jig sets out the foundation roots into the correct positions, ensuring that the roots are perfectly aligned to accept the frame.

Simple On-site Assembly

The mounting frame is made up of a series components that simply bolt together on site, all of the components are manageable by hand and the assembly can be completed by two people. The mounting frame comes complete with a comprehensive assembly manual that explains how the frame goes together.

Tall Mounting Frame

The mount holds the solar panels around 900mm off of the ground in its lowest position, this helps protect the solar panels in fields that also contain live stock.
