The quality workmanship and engineering we put into every product truly does make a difference. The welds are strong and professional, edges are clean and deburred, metal parts are substantial and robust, bolt holes line up the way they should. General Specialties mounts are characterized by heavy-duty construction, ease of assembly, and are easy to adjust for seasonal tilt angle.
If you have worked with other mounts, you can really appreciate the ease of adjustment that our solar panel mounts offer. While the current trend in manufacturing is to use lighter and cheaper materials and to cut corners in construction, we design our systems to the highest standards and we never scrimp on materials.
Our mounts are designed to withstand 30 PSF which is approximately 90 - 100 mph winds in exposure C (wide open area). The safety factor for our steel structures is no less then 1.67. The safety factor for our aluminum members is no less then 3.25. By industry standards, these are heavy-duty mounts.

Services
Our mission at General Specialties Manufacturing is to provide durable solar panel mounting systems with exceptional customer service. We will strive to give our customers a positive experience with our products and our team. Our number one goal is to exceed any and all customer expectations while helping them harness the power of the sun.
The infrastructure of our mounts differs from other manufacturers in that each design can accommodate a variety of PV panel brands. We design our systems to the highest standards with the most durable materials. We subscribe to the "quality first" rule. Our universal T-Slot rails accommodate a variety of PV modules you may want to put on the same mount.
Top-of-Pole mounts available in numerous models that can accommodate a variety of modules. Main structure consists of painted, powder coated or galvanized steel tubing and pipe, ASTM 500 B, A120 and A135. All mounts come with complete easy-to-understand instructions which make for smooth and simple installation.
The braces can either be run forward of the panel or back behind which allows greater flexibility in choosing the site for the mount. Panel inclination is controlled through a range of 20 to 90 degrees just by changing the attachment to the brace. All aluminum components of General Specialties Side of Pole mounts are cut from 6061 T-6 extrusions for superior rigidity.
In collaboration with Justin McLane of The Solar Stone we've built custom solar panel mounting systems for large arrays on public buildings, at ski resorts, telecommunications outposts, and schools. Whether it is a small scale custom job for an individual, or a large scale industrial installation, we will work with engineers, contractors and customers to create a solution for effectively mounting their solar panels in the appropriate location.

Mark and Katie at General Specialties took my call and helped me out immediately, even though they are the owners of the company. General Specialties is over engineered, and more cost effective than the competitors. I especially like the hand crank angle adjustment, and the high wind speed ratings. With other racking companies, you have to pay extra for the high wind option. I recommend General Specialties for the home owner or the professional installer.
