Professional Grade 12 ft Solar Support System
Engineered for industrial-strength reliability, the CameraPoles 12 ft series is designed specifically to maintain stable video feeds for sensitive optics while supporting heavy solar arrays. These poles utilize a round tapered design (approx. 0.14″/ft) to effectively distribute wind force, ensuring long-term structural integrity in high-wind environments.
Technical Specifications
- Material: High-strength, weldable hot-rolled commercial quality carbon steel.
- Yield Strength: Minimum 55,000 psi after fabrication for maximum rigidity.
- Shaft Construction: 11-gauge steel (0.1196″) with a full-length longitudinal weld.
- Handhole: Reinforced 4″ x 6.5″ opening with a gasketed cover and grounding provision.
- Finish: Polyester thermosetting powder coat (min 3 mils) for weather protection.
- Standard Duty: 13 EPA – Ideal for single camera + compact solar setups.
- Medium Duty: 27 EPA – Perfect for dual-cameras or standard solar arrays.
- Heavy Duty: 35 EPA – Maximum stability for large solar/battery kits.
- Direct Burial (Embedded): 5 ft embedded section coated with TARGUARD Coal Tar Epoxy for corrosion resistance.
- Anchor Base: Includes 4 high-strength anchor bolts (55k psi min yield) and a protective base cover.
Engineering Guidance
Selecting the right pole depends on your total equipment load. Your Total System EPA must include the surface area of your solar panels, cameras, and all mounting brackets.
Critical Selection Advisories
- Wind Zone Variations: Allowable EPA capacity changes by location. A pole rated for a specific EPA at 100 MPH will have a different capacity in 120 MPH or 140 MPH zones.
- Vibration Prevention: For long-term structural health, poles should not be installed without their intended equipment (panels/luminaires). If your site has high steady-state winds, consider a model with a vibration damper.
- Installation Integrity: All Anchor Base poles require high-strength non-shrink grout between the base plate and concrete foundation to maintain the structural wind warranty.
