An adjustable solar panel tilt mount for flat and low-slope roofs, built on a folding tripod: set any angle from 0° to 45°, then fix it by ballast, concrete foundation, or chemical bolt. Standalone, matrix, and east-west arrangements adapt to almost any roof.
Most flat-roof systems give you a few preset angles and one way to hold them down. The Nova TRIPOD is built around a folding aluminum tripod instead: set any tilt from 0° to 45°, then anchor it the way your roof allows — movable ballast where the membrane must stay untouched, a fixed concrete foundation, or chemical bolts straight into a concrete deck. It is an adjustable tilt solar mounting system in the full sense: the angle, the anchor, and the layout all follow the site.
The wide tilt range matters most at higher latitudes, where a steeper angle recovers winter yield that a low-tilt system gives away. Tripod units work alone or link into matrix rows, in south-facing or east-west double-sided arrangements — so arrays can thread around skylights, vents, and rooftop equipment instead of stopping at them. The tilt brackets, cross beams, and clamps arrive factory pre-assembled: unfold, set the angle, clamp the panels. Every structural part is AL6005-T5 aluminum with SUS304 stainless fasteners — light to carry up, corrosion-resistant, good for 25–30 years outdoors.
The folding tripod sets any tilt in the 0–45° range — the widest in our flat-roof line — so each project can match its latitude instead of settling for a preset angle.
Anchor with movable ballast to leave the membrane untouched, or with a concrete foundation or chemical bolts where more hold-down is needed — one system, three ways to fix it.
Units stand alone or link into matrix, south-facing, or east-west rows — arrays thread around skylights, vents, and equipment instead of stopping at them.
Tripod brackets, cross beams, and clamps arrive factory pre-assembled — unfold, set the angle, clamp the panels. Less time on the roof, less skill required.

Site-specific structural calculations available on request for industrial projects.
Foldable AL6005-T5 aluminium tripod that forms the base structure and sets the tilt angle. The adjustable geometry allows any angle from 0° to 45° per row, and anchors to the roof by ballast, fixed foundation, or chemical bolt.
Universal mid clamp that secures two adjacent modules to the structure, sized for a wide range of framed module thicknesses in both landscape and portrait orientation.
End clamp that fixes the outer edge of each panel row to the tripod structure, completing the module attachment together with the middle clamps.
