Conventional Solar Installations Require Railing
Rails are expensive, time-consuming and challenging
It’s time-consuming to manage the many SKUs and to load parts onto
trucks.
Additionally, rails must be:• Stored in costly warehouse space• Cut to meet the requirements of the individual job• Carried or crane-hoisted onto the roof•Affixed to the roof with an array of small parts

The Challenges of Grounding Conventional Systems
Grounding is difficult and time consuming
• Must ground each module and rail
• Each event takes 5+ minutes
• Often entails grounding “jumpers”
between rails.
• Ground lugs are susceptible to
corrosion, premature failure
• Systems often become improperly
grounded over time

Innovative Solar Mounting Solution
Trinamount makes solar cost-effective, fast and easy
• Installs quickly
• Few parts simplify
logistics
• Self-grounding
• Installs portrait or

How works
• Groove in module frame simplifies system: no rails
• Self-contained grounding
• Innovative component mating: snaps and ¼-turns
• Fewer parts
Innovative design sets Trinamount apart
