MageMount is a rail-less solar mounting system that is installed like a rail-based solar mounting system with separate roof attachments and interlocking module connectors. It provides a complete solar mounting solution with roof attachments for all types of sloped roofs at lower cost and reduced installation time with familiar and fewer components. It doesn’t require rails or clamps. It utilizes solar module that comes with MageFrame designed by Magerack Corporation. It is designed with focus on easing installation and reducing installation time and cost. MageMount rail-less solar mounting system works with solar modules compatible with MageFrame only.

Solar Modules with MageFrame

Solar module must have frame that is compatible with MageFrame. MageFrame is a proprietary module frame designed by Magerack Corporation. It has a slot on the vertical outside of the module frame, through which module connectors, roof attachments, ground lugs, accessory mounting brackets and other mounting components can be attached to the module with MageBolts.

Features and Benefits

  • Simple design with slightly more material than regular frame.
  • Same assembly method without altering assembly line for PV module manufacturers.
  • Can be installed with rail-based or other rail-less mounting methods.
  • Solar array can be any layout, portrait, landscape, staggered, mixed, etc. 
  • Can be installed in any directions, top-down or bottom-up.
  • Built-in bonding in all components including all roof attachments.

Module Connectors

A module connector connects two adjacent modules structurally. A module connector has top and bottom parts. One part slides into the slot of one module and other part into the slot of the other module. The two parts are connected with a bolt, thus it connects two adjacent modules. The module connector has integrated multiple-use bonding pins. Once module connector is tightened, the two adjacent modules are bonded through the bonding pins on module connector. The binding pins on module connector can be used multiple times.

Features and Benefits

  • Separate from roof attachment.
  • Can be installed at any location along module edges.
  • Simple drop-down assembly.
  • Interlock modules structurally and electrically.
  • Built-in bonding.
  • Extremely cost-effective and easy-to-install module-connecting device.

Roof Attachments

All roof attachments are attached to module through MageBolt for MageMount system. MageBolt has built-in bonding capability. MageBolt has built-in bonding blades that pierce into module frame inside the slot and create bonding between MageBolt and module frame when it is tightened. Since MagBolt is bonded with rest of roof attachment, roof attachment is bonded to the module frame once MageBolt is tightened. The bonding blades on MageBolt can be used multiple times.

Composition Shingle Roof

Comp Foot and Tall Comp Foot are roof attachments on composition shingle roofs. They are the most popular and common roof attachments that are very easy to install and absolutely waterproof.

Features and Benefits

  • Unique patented flashing
  • Absolutely waterproof
  • Easy to install
  • L bracket’s lateral position and module height can be adjusted through slots during module installation
  • Built-in bonding
  • Lower cost and reduced installation time

      

Tile Roof

Tile Foot is roof attachment for installation on tile roofs. It is the most popular tile roof attachment and comes with flashing. It can be used on flat tile roof and curved tile roof with or without batten installed.

Long Tile Foot is roof attachment for installation on tile roofs. It is heavy-duty tile foot with extended L bracket that can be attached to module when the module edge is not near the tile head-lap area. It can be used on flat tile roof and curved tile roof with or without batten installed.

Double Tile Feet is the ultimate roof attachment for installation on tile roofs. It has two tile feet supporting the L bracket on a connecting strip. The L bracket can be positioned at any location to be attached to module when the module edge is in the middle of tiles. It can be used on flat tile roof and curved tile roof with or without batten installed.

Features and Benefits

  • Complete roof attachment solutions for tile roof. 
  • Double flashing.
  • Easy to install.
  • Adjust L bracket’s lateral position and module height through slots during module installation.
  • Lower cost and reduced installation time.
  • Built-in bonding.
                         

Stone-Coated Steel Roof

Steel-Roof Tile Foot is roof attachment for installation on stone-coated steel roofs. It is height-adjustable and fits all stone-coated steel roofs with different profiles. It comes with flashing and is also available with long L bracket and double tile feet.

Features and Benefits

  • Complete roof attachment solutions for stone-coated steel roof.
  • Double flashing.
  • Easy to install.
  • Adjust L bracket’s lateral position and module height through slots during module installation.
  • Lower cost and reduced installation time.
  • Built-in bonding.

Accessories

Mounting Bracket is attached to a module with MageBolt, through which microinverter, optimizer, etc. can be attached to the back of the module.

Skirt and Skirt End Caps are attached to the front row of a solar array for aesthetic looking. Skirt comes with mounting brackets, end caps and screws.

Cable Clip is clipped to a module and has two loops that can hold both module cable and microinverter cable.

Grounding Lug is attached to a module with MageBolt and there is only one grounding lug needed for one solar array.

MageBolt is the bolt that can be used to attach any component to a module. All roof attachments and other components come with it. It can also be purchased and used to attach other manufacturers' mounting components to the module with MageFrame.

Features and Benefits

  • As strong as rail-based system.
  • Fewer roof penetrations.
  • Lower cost and reduced installation time.
  • Built-in bonding in all components.
