Rack Mounting
     In instances where the slope of the roof surface is insufficient to attain the proper solar gain, or where the collectors are ground mounted, SunEarth offers tilt rack kits.  Tilt rack kits typically consist of hinged front and rear mounting feet coupled with rear legs of various pre-cut lengths form 19" to 60" to achieve the desired collector slope.  All hardware in the tilt kits is the same high quality stainless steel and bronze anodized Aluminum found in all of SunEarth's mounting components.
 Empire & SunWise Collectors
Pre-punched Aluminum channel forms the front and rear feet of this tilt mount kit, and comes standard in a bronze anodized finish or mill finish.  Hinged mounting clips are screwed into the collector framewall in the same manner as the mounting brackets used in direct and strut mount applications.  Sturdy 2" U-channel forms the rear legs and is pre-punched to hold the 5/8" stainless steel bolts that form the hinged joints of these units.  Tilt mount kits contain all the hardware mentioned above and come in a variety of leg lengths (MTG-E-0## or MTG-S-0##).
 Imperial Collectors
Rack mounting of the Imperial series is identical to that of the Empire, SunWise, and SolarStar units with the exception of the collector mounting clip.  Similar to the Imperial direct mount clip, the rack mount clip is a two-part unit that slips over the extruded mounting shelf on the I-beam framewall.  Tilt mount kits for the Imperial  collector contain all mounting hardware and come in a variety of leg lengths (MTG-I-0##).
 Copperheart ICS
CopperHeart units may be rack mounted using a combination of 2" U-channel and SolarStrut.  The 2" U-channel forms the base and rear legs of the tilt rack with the SolarStut forming the actual racking surface.  The U-channel base is directly lagged into the roof rafter and connected to the rear leg and spanning SolarStrut with 5/8" stainless steel hinge bolts.  The CopperHeart unit is then fastened to the SolarStrut using the same mounting clips used for direct mounting (MTG-C-100).  Tilt mount kits for the Copperheart are available with 12" (MTG-C-012) or 24" (MTG-C-024) rear legs.
