Product Information
The CHARGE UNIFIX is a mounting bracket designed for fixing Unisun photovoltaic panels or equivalent. It comes in two variants: 300 B and 500 B.
- 300 B Dimensions: A – 1070 mm, B – 1100 mm
- 500 B Dimensions: A – 1120 mm, B – 1150 mm
The Unifix brackets are made of galvanized steel and come with corrosion- resistant stainless-steel screws, making them suitable for outdoor use. They have a multi-position tilting system that allows for optimization of panel performance based on the chosen orientation.
The electrical performance of the panels varies based on the inclination and orientation. The performance percentages are as follows:
| East| South-East| South| South-West| West
---|---|---|---|---|---
93% Inclination| 93%| 93%| 93%| 93%| 93%
45% Inclination| 90%| 96%| 100%| 96%| 90%
25% Inclination| 78%| 88%| 91%| 88%| 78%
0% Inclination| 55%| 66%| 68%| 66%| 55%
Product Usage Instructions
To install the Unifix bracket, follow these steps:

RECOMMENDATIONS
Mount Unifix brackets only on surfaces with sufficient bearing capacity. Consider the additional load with the panel:
Support Panels
Unifix 300 B = 9.2 kg
Unifix 500 B = 11.2 kg
| Unisun 100.12M (x2) / 100.24M (x2) = 14kg / 15kg / 14kg / 9,8kg / 9,3kg /
/120.12BC (x2) / 150.12M / 165.12BC / 10.8kg / 12,9kg / 13.6kg / 15.5kg 150.24M / 200.12BC / 200.24M / 300.12M
- Fastening: to prevent large quantities of snow from accumulating behind the sensor, install appropriate barrier grids. The position of the solar panel influences your electrical production. Choose the most optimal inclination and orientation that suits your environment. Avoid shaded areas or objects that are a source of shadow (eg tree).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Take the appropriate mesures to prevent accidents during your mounting steps.
- If the bracket and the mounting tools are exposed to sunlight for a long period, there is a risk of getting burnt. Make sure to protect yourself accordingly.
- When finished, check and ensure that all of your brackets and panels are fixed properly.
