Hi I'm Amy from the AltE store we are at our sixth annual install conference.
And I am here with Joel from MT Solar.
And we're gonna talk a little bit about their pole mounts that they've made.
Hello.
So tell us a little bit about your company.
Our company, we're located in Montana, in the western part of Montana and are manufacturing
pole mounts.
And the reason that Montana Solar was kind of have done what they've done is for the
installer safety.
And the user friendly-ness of the pole mounting.
Able to be lifted up the pole with a chain hoist.
And not needed scaffolding and cranes.
The other key factor is that the adjuster on our pole mount is for the end user.
Which you can adjust the tilt the seasonal tilt from basically vertical to horizontal
in the matter of a minute.
So that was the key things with Montana Solar.
And your turn around time is amazing in the industry.
So from time of order, how long does it take to get one of these systems on the truck.
When somebody places an order, within 10 days that is our claim, that within 10 days we'll
have that thing on the road and on your way.
I try to make sure that that absolutely must happen.
The guys in the shop, my two sons work in the shop, they kind of manage the shop.
So we all help each other.
We're almost all family there, not quite but we feel like it, we treat each other like
it.
We love working for the people that order from us.
We feel like we owe it to you.
So this is a really good, solid, sturdy, made-in-the-USA pole mount.
So what are the size ranges that are available.
Our ranges, we build pole mounts that will hold one panel and it fits on a two inch pole.
We go up from there to two panels, three panels, four panels on our 4 inch pole mounts.
It's on 4 inch pipe.
Then we jump to a 6 inch pipe which we do a 6 and an 8 panel system.
From there we go into the 8 inch pole.
They go from 8 to 9, 10, 11, 12 all the way to 20 panels with a 60 cell.
Then we go into the 72 cell, and we go from 1 panel all the way up to 15.
That's impressive, that's some big hefty mounts there.
And you've also got an option for a multi pole mount.
We do multi poles, so basically the splice head goes in there, and you can take any one
of our pole mounts and simply double it, triple it, quadruple, just keep on going.
As long as you've got free space.
You got room, we got poles.
We ship them all over the world, we got them in Alaska, Hawaii, Costa Rica.
We ship pole mounts and we're looking for more countries, more countries call us every
week, asking us about our pole mounts.
That's great, so the nice thing about the way you've got it with the safety for the
installer is you're doing everything at waist level.
You're mounting the panels at waist level.
So it's all basically hangs of the chain hoist until you get the thing put together.
Then when you have the thing put together, your installation time is very minimal.
Someone who can read a manual can put one together in half a day very easily.
My son and I have put one together in 45 minutes, top 12 start to finish.
Of course we don't need a manual we know what each one is doing.
Then you raise it to the top of the pole, you can actually raise it halfway up, then
you can wire it all up to the top.
So this is great for doing micro inverters and DC optimizers aswell.
Because you have access to the back and at a reasonable height you can do all that.
Or if it is going to a string inverter or charge controller or anything, you've got
full access at a reasonable height, a safe height to do all your wiring.
Hoist it up, then put that one last panel in the middle on it.
You can adjust it to wherever you want it whether you're short or tall.
It's right there.
You don't have to have adjuster scaffolding, or try and work off of ladders.
It's right there.
Then the crane thing is out of the picture.
That's amazing.
Then like I said, the screw adjuster is for the home owner the end user.
You can adjust the tilt on that thing seasonally.
Then it can happen in minutes time.
So they're going to be able to really maximize the output of their array because often we
hear people say, 'Oh yeah I'm going to go out and adjust it.'
They do it once and say, 'Oh forget that I'm never doing that again.'
So having it easy, and the home owner can do it.
And I have looked up seasonal tilt.
And they claim that 15 percent is a very reasonable number of energy collected off of an adjustable
pole mount, or from a fixed roof mount.
So that again saves you more money because you can size your arrays smaller, knowing
that you're able to maximize it.
It's really well priced, fast delivery, safe to install, maximum output.
It's a win, win, win.
So wonderful thanks so much for taking the time, I Know you've got to get back to the
booth and talk about all of our other customers.
