AIMS Power builds solar racking systems for ground mounting, pole mounting, and single panel solar installation, at sizes that cover a small cabin array up through a commercial project. Every solar mounting system here uses structural grade aluminum and stainless steel fasteners, with pre-assembled legs and sliding rails that cut installation time on site.
The simplest solar mounting option in the line for a single solar panel on almost any flat surface.
The largest ground mount here, built as a fixed tilt platform for a full residential or commercial solar project.Â
A pole mounted solar racking option that lifts the array off the ground and adjusts through the seasons.Â
Spec a rack that arrives with clamps and rails already matched, so a crew spends the day installing rather than sourcing hardware.
Use single panel mounts for roof arrays, and ground mounts at dealer lots and service sites.
Set up a ground mounted array at a yard or remote site to charge equipment without running a line to it.
Order racking at volume pricing and talk through a custom bracket with our engineers before the build. Apply to become a reseller for dealer pricing.
Mount panels on vehicle roofs with adjustable single panel hardware built for the road.
I bought an Airstream recently with a solar system installed. It uses an Aims inverter and being unfamiliar with Solar systems I leaned on the Aims tech support to advise, and teach me how to add battery capacity, change inverter settings and various other questions. Tech support is outstanding. Very courteous and knowledgable.
I have an Airstream trailer. We spend lot of time off grid hunting, fishing. We needed a reliable solar setup. These guys came through with the goods.
All the people at Aims are the best at helping your solve your problems very knowledgeable on anything to do with solar. Could not ask for a better team of people to work with. Thanks much for all your help.

AIMS Power manufactures the full off-grid system ourselves, so the panels, controllers, and inverters that mount to these racks come from the same engineers who designed the racks. On the hardware itself, that means structural aluminum and stainless steel rather than coated steel that rusts at the fastener.
The difference between a ground mount and a pole mount rack is how the array sits on the site. A ground mount sits on legs close to the ground across a wide footprint, which makes it faster to install and easier to reach for cleaning. A pole mount puts the array on a single steel pole set in concrete, which uses far less ground space and lifts panels above snow and brush. Pole mounts also adjust through more tilt angles.
How many panels a solar rack holds depends on the model. The single panel mount holds one, the pole mount rack holds up to six large panels, and the ground mount comes in a six panel version and a twelve panel version. Larger solar installations combine multiple racks, and our solar kits bundle racking with panels already matched.
Completing a solar installation takes more than the rack and the panels. An array also needs PV wire, a disconnect switch, and a charge controller between the array and the battery bank. Pole mount installs also need a concrete foundation to anchor the pole, which is poured on site rather than shipped with the rack.
These solar racks are built to hold up outdoors, and the material choice is what does it. The frames use structural grade aluminum and the fasteners use stainless steel, so there is no coated steel to rust through at the connection points. Our ground mount racks are backed by a 25 year warranty, longer than most of the equipment they support.
Knowing which rack fits your solar modules comes down to checking panel wattage against the rack’s range, since physical panel size tracks closely with wattage. The ground mount racks are built for 190 to 380 watt modules, the pole mount for panels 265 watts and larger, and the universal single panel mount adjusts to fit any size. Call our techs with your panel model if you are working with modules we did not supply.
