The EnerWorks collectors have
a proprietary bracket system. Safe and very
flexible, it allows for sloped or flat roof,
rack or wall mounting to best meet your needs.
EnerWorks offers two main models of mounting
brackets: "L" brackets and "Hook"
brackets. With the L brackets, a tab under the
collector allows the use of a single bolt to
support and attach the collector to the mounting
surface.
The Hook brackets are highly
recommended for ease of installation. In addition
to the tab under the collector as used in the
L bracket, a second tab acts as a hook and allows
the installers to safely rest the collector's
weight on to the strut channel before inserting
the channel bolts. This is highly beneficial
during installations in difficult roof-top positions,
preventing the need to manually support the
weight of the collector while fastening the
bolt.
Each bracket has an eyelet to enable secure
lifting of the collector by rope, carabiner
or cable. The brackets mount on to strut channels
which are supplied with the mounting kit. Spacers
under these channels allow water and snow to
run off effectively.
The entire mounting system
has a low profile, increasing its aesthetic
appeal. Together with the collectors, the system
has passed wind load test requirements with
positive and negative loads, meeting CSA standards.
These tests simulate wind speeds of 208 km per
hour (126.7 mph).
