Mounting bracket Keno K-45-7 high end clamp for ballast PV installations

The Keno K-45-7 high end clamp for ballast PV installations is a metal mounting bracket designed to secure photovoltaic modules in non-penetrating, ballast-mounted systems. Engineered for flat roofs and temporary installations, this high edge clamp provides a mechanical connection between the module frame and ballast structure, allowing stable placement of solar panels without roof penetration. The design focuses on compatibility with common module frame profiles and on delivering reliable clamping force for ballast-mounted arrays.

Advantages

This mounting bracket offers a corrosion-resistant metal construction and a profile suited for high edge clamping of framed PV modules. Its geometry enables firm retention of module edges while minimizing stress concentrations on the frame. The bracket is intended for use in ballast systems, eliminating the need for roof penetrations and reducing installation time associated with mechanical roof fastenings. The simple, compact design facilitates handling during installation and adjustment on flat roof surfaces.

Suitable for

• Ballast-mounted photovoltaic arrays on flat roofs
• Temporary or trial PV installations where non-penetrating solutions are required
• Commercial and residential rooftop systems using framed solar modules
• Situations requiring quick mechanical attachment to ballast structures

Key specifications

• Function: high edge clamp for framed PV modules in ballast systems
• Material: metal construction designed for structural support (corrosion-resistant finish where applicable)
• Compatibility: suitable for standard framed solar modules and common frame profiles
• Application environment: flat roofs and non-penetrating ballast-mounted setups
• Mounting type: mechanical clamp for attachment to ballast structures without roof penetration

How to use

Position the high end clamp over the module frame edge and align it with the ballast structure so the clamp bears against both the module and ballast element. Tighten the clamp fastening according to installer practice and module frame specifications to achieve secure retention while avoiding over-tightening that can deform the frame. Ensure each clamp is placed at recommended intervals along the module edge and verify overall array alignment and ballast distribution to maintain system stability under anticipated wind loads.

Usage recommendations

Use this high edge clamp as part of a complete ballast mounting system designed by a qualified solar installer. Confirm compatibility with the specific module frame profile and follow local building codes and wind-load requirements. Regularly inspect clamp connections and ballast placement after installation and following severe weather events to ensure continued mechanical integrity.
