Document Objective This installation manual has been put together to assist in the proper steps required to build a Sun Bear ground mount system array. • Interchangeable foundation: Above-the-ground racking design does not change. static load modeling. All testing has been independently conducted by third parties and provided to PanelClaw.Introduction The Sun Bear® fixed-tilt ground mount system (“Sun Bear”) is designed to install faster than any other system on the market as of the date of this Installation Manual. Its four-component design includes a preassembled frame and in-field adjustability. The racking is independent from the foundation choice. computational fluid dynamics modeling. Only four major components and zero loose fasteners. • Material-saving truss design: Strut components carry only tension or compression loads making them light weight and structurally efficient. • Preassembled frames with telescoping rafters: Reduces overall height and width for easier shipping yet deploy in seconds in the field. Sun Bear features include: • Accelerated construction time: Designed to be the fastest system to install in the market. Inc. There are zero loose fasteners and all components are preassembled to speed construction and eliminate costly onsite drilling. for an unmatched combination of simplicity and flexibility. and wind tunnel testing. • Adjustability: Strut components have integrated turnbuckles to allow in-field adjustments to racking without drilling or cutting. undergoing individual component finite element analysis.

The Sun Bear system has been extensively tested. a space frame is strong because of the inherent rigidity of the triangle. a trusslike rigid structure constructed from interlocking struts in a geometric pattern.Safety Overview The Sun Bear® system architecture and structural engineering is based on a space frame. It serves as a reminder to the unique behavior of a truss system and the safety precautions that must be followed. PRIOR TO INSTALLATION. Note the appearance of the within this installation manual. This must be kept in mind when constructing Sun Bear and when following the installation procedures. flexing loads (bending moments) are transmitted as tension and compression loads along the length of each strut. It is important to know however that each member (strut) in a truss design is required for the system to stay erect safely. These structures are used in bridges and skyscrapers for their strength. and reliability. efficiency. No single Strut in the Sun Bear system may be removed from the truss without the system becoming unstable. Sun Bear Installation Manual Document Number 9910019 Rev B 5 . Like the truss.
