Up To 35% Faster Installation
OMCO Solar is the one-source partner with total end-to-end manufacturing capabilities that’s changing the speed and cost of solar construction. Factory-direct, FIELD-FAST™ mounting system reduces on-site labor, cuts build-time and costs developers less at every stage of construction. OMCO Solar customers get higher-quality steel racking, precision engineering and pre-assembled components, leveraging only four basic components per rack.
OMCO Solar has leveraged over 9 GW of utility-scale experience and 60 years of custom roll-form manufacturing skills to develop the best solar racking structure on the market. With a proven capacity to deliver for projects of any size, OMCO Solar’s dedicated team knows each project front-to-back and provides technical knowledge that can’t be matched.
Field-Fast™ Solar Mounting System Exclusive Features
Engineered for Fast and Easy Installation
We produce C-channel ground posts in-house from heavy galvanized steel (or post-dipped galvanized, if required).
Posts are pre-punched with only the hole configurations needed for your structure at your pitch.
No guess work. No on-site adjusting.
Tilt bracket and diagonal struts are attached with bolts in holes pre-punched for your requirements.
East-West Beams are easily mounted. Custom raised tabs in the tilt bracket hold beams in place to speed placement of hardware.
Only one set of hardware required to connect East-West Beam to Tilt Bracket.
Holes are located exactly where needed. No confusion. No delays.
Patented Module Rail Assembly
Delivers the fastest module installation in the Solar Industry
Both top and bottom of East-West beams arrive at jobsite with pre-threaded holes. Only two bolts required, one at each end.
Mod Rails are Custom-built for each installation to maximize time savings.
Module clamps are pre-installed at factory, minimizing loose hardware and assuring proper spacing.
Solar Module Installation…
Fastest and Safest in the Industry
- A two person crew can quickly and safely install solar modules from the low side of the array.
- Slide and Stay Modules: Solar modules slide into place and are held in position with tabs as the next module is retrieved and installed. Increased Safety. No overhead lifting!
- Bottom module slides into place, pushing the other modules up into their final position.
- Bottom module is held in place by another tab at the bottom of the Mod Rail Assembly.
Securing Solar Modules: Fastest and Safest in the Industry
After solar modules are in place, the lowest clamp on Mod Rail Assembly is tightened from above. All other clamps are accessed from below. All solar modules are installed from ground level.
Clamps arrive pre-installed and properly spaced
