Low-profile tilt legs
A low-profile orientation minimizes the vertical height of the array, enabling concealment behind a parapet or reduced wind loading. You can also optimize tilt angle on a pitched roof to maximize system performance. In low profile arrays, tilt angle depends on leg length and the location of the module mounting holes. Each low-profile tilt leg kit contains one square tube and one strut.

To identify the correct low-profile tilt legs for your system, choose (a) the correct maximum leg extension for your desired tilt angle from the table below and (b) the number of kits required from the table at right. Item codes in table below.
The number of tilt legs in a low-profile array depends on the length of the mounting rails.
