This 140mm aluminium rail connector joins two standard 1.2m solar panel mounting rails end-to-end, letting installers extend a rail run without cutting or specialist tools. Slide it into the open ends of adjacent rails to build a continuous, stable run of any length needed for the array.

Key features

• Connector length, 140mm
• Joins, two 1.2m aluminium mounting rails into one continuous run
• Compatibility, standard aluminium PV mounting rail systems
• Tooling, no specialist rail-cutting equipment required
• Sold as, per unit

Applications

Useful wherever a module row runs longer than a single 1.2m rail. That covers wide residential roof spans and commercial flat roof arrays, where several connectors might be used across the same run to reach the required length.

Installation notes

PV mounting systems should be designed and fitted by a qualified solar installer. Position and secure each connector fully before loading panels onto the rail, and check the completed assembly against the wind and load requirements for the site.
