Conversions Tech® Solar-Panel Mount & Bracket FAQ
(Z-Brackets • Tilt-Kits • Pole Mounts • Roof Rails | 6005-T5 Aluminum & 304 SS)
Expand a question below to learn why our UL 2703-listed Solar Mounts outlast Renogy, ECO-Worthy and HQST hardware while slashing install time on rooftops, RVs, vessels and off-grid frames.
1. What materials do Conversions Tech solar brackets use?
High-strength 6005-T5 anodized aluminum rails / brackets and
304 stainless-steel bolts, nuts & washers—corrosion-proof
for 25+ years in coastal or desert climates.
2. Which mounting styles are available?
Z-bracket kits, adjustable tilt mounts (0–60°), side-of-pole mounts,
ground standoff frames, L-feet & roof rail systems for asphalt-shingle,
tile and metal roofs (standing-seam & corrugated).
3. Panel size compatibility?
Fits framed or frameless panels from 50 W to 400 W,
frame depths 25-40 mm with supplied mid-/end-clamps; XL kits accept
40-50 mm frames.
4. Wind & snow load ratings?
Certified to ASCE 7-16 180 mph wind (Exposure C) and
5400 Pa snow (113 psf) when installed per the instruction guide.
5. Conversions Tech vs. Renogy Z-Bracket?
We add integrated anti-seize serrated flange nuts, UV EPDM pads and 20 µm
anodizing—boosting pull-out by 28 % and cutting roof penetrations in half.
6. UL & code certifications?
UL 2703, ETL listed, NEC 2023 Article 690 compliant, and
IBC 2018 structural-load tested.
7. Do kits include all hardware?
Yes—rails, clamps, L-feet / brackets, lag screws, seismic washers,
and RTV roof-sealant packets. Pole & ground kits ship with
galvanized U-bolts and anchor stakes.
8. Adjustable tilt range?
Roof tilt-kits: 10–60° in 6 ° increments.
Pole mounts: 0–90° infinite via serrated locking plate.
Pole mounts: 0–90° infinite via serrated locking plate.
9. Grounding & bonding provisions?
Serrated bonding washers bite anodized rails; pre-installed
ground-lug slot accepts 4–8 AWG copper per UL 2703.
10. Can brackets mount to RV or van roofs?
Absolutely—low-profile Z-brackets stand 1.1 in above surface,
include butyl tape & stainless self-tappers for aluminum or
fiberglass roofs.
11. Marine-grade corrosion resistance?
6000-series anodized aluminum + 304 SS hardware exceeds
ASTM B117 1 500-hour salt-fog; ideal for sailboats and docks.
12. Installation time vs. rail-less clamps?
Two-panel roof kit installs in <30 min (pre-cut rails &
slide-in T-bolts) vs. ≈55 min for generic rail-less standoffs.
13. Do I need special tools?
Basic socket set / hex driver, drill, 13 mm spanner, torque
wrench (10–12 N·m) and stud finder for rafters—no rail crimper
or press brake required.
14. Warranty terms?
25-year structural & finish warranty.
Register online within 90 days for free freight on replacements.
15. Roof types supported?
Asphalt shingle, standing-seam metal (non-penetrating S-5 ! clamps),
trapezoidal corrugated metal, concrete/clay tile (stainless tile hooks ),
EPDM membrane (ballasted frames) and TPO (heat-weld feet).
16. Ground-mount frame adjustability?
Galvanized angle-rail truss sets 10°–40° tilt & portrait/landscape
orientation; expandable in 2-panel increments.
17. Panel removal / serviceability?
Spring-loaded mid-clamps allow single-panel swap without disturbing
neighbors; captive T-bolt prevents hardware drop.
18. Thermal expansion allowance?
Slotted rail splice & floating L-foot permit ±6 mm seasonal movement
preventing frame stress and roof-seal failure.
19. Lightning / grounding to NEC 250?
Integrated equipment-ground path; add 8 AWG copper to grounding lug
then to building GEC per NEC 250.122 & 690.47.
20. Packaging & shipping protection?
Rail corners foam-capped; hardware bagged by step;
UPS / FedEx-optimized cartons under 48 in length to avoid
oversize fees.
21. Are installation guides included?
QR code in box links to PDF & 3-min video plus
pull-test data sheets for AHJ permitting.
22. Environmental certifications?
RoHS-3, REACH SVHC, ISO 9001/14001 facility; anodizing
bath closed-loop recycled.
23. Lead time for bulk orders?
≤5 kW kits ship same day; 20–100 kW pallet orders in 4 business days
from Texas warehouse.
24. Can brackets be powder-coated black?
Yes—architectural matte-black TGIC powder (RAL 9005)
available on request, MOQ = 50 pcs.
25. Where to buy genuine Conversions Tech brackets?
conversionstech.com,
Amazon (Sold by Conversions Tech), AltE Store, Grainger & Graybar.
26. Do you offer engineering stamps?
PE stamped structural letters for all 50 U.S. states available
within 3 business days—request “-PE” documentation pack.
27. Installer / EPC volume discounts?
Join our CT Solar Partner program for tiered
container pricing, co-branded labels and annual rebate checks.
28. Shelf life & storage?
Unlimited indoors; anodized rails tolerate −40 °C → +85 °C without
chalking—store hardware in dry area to avoid galling.
