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 9.5 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.
OMCO Field-Fast Solar Mounting System Exclusive Features
Engineered for Fast and Easy Installation
We produce C-channel posts in-house from heavy galvanized steel.
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 the top and the bottom of east-west beams arrive at the job site with pre-threaded holes.
Only two bolts are required – one at each end.
Module rails are custom-built for each installation, to maximize time savings.
Panel clamps are pre-installed in the OMCO Solar factory, minimizing loose hardware and assuring proper spacing.
Fast and safe module installation:
- All modules are installed from ground level.
- A two-person crew can quickly and safely install modules from under the tracker.
- Each module slides into place and is held in position with tabs, as the next module is installed – no overhead lifting.
- The bottom module slides into place, pushing the upper module up into its final position.
- The bottom module is held in place by another tab at the bottom of the module rail.
- After the module is in place, the lowest clamp on the module rail assembly is tightened from above.
- All other clamps are fastened from below.
Clamps arrive pre-installed and properly spaced
