General Specialties LLC

Sandpoint, Idaho, United States | Energy

The company began with the owners desire to contribute to the growing renewable energy industry and it has continued to strive for a quality mount that will withstand fierce winds and heavy snow. With a strong focus on customer satisfaction and quality products the business has increased its production and sale of mounts each year of the last decade.
In an effort to continue to grow the company to its potential General Specialties changed ownership and updated the company name and logo. General Specialties Manufacturing, Inc. was launched in September of 2014. With the new name, look and energy this company will not only continue to produce quality mounts but it will also dive deeper into the renewable energy industry and find new products to add to the product line while continuing to strive for short lead times.

Tom from Backwoods Solar says:

'The UPM mounts from General Specialties are the best I have used on my personal system. They are a little heavier duty construction than other racks and may cost a little more to ship but stand up to heavy wind and snow loading once installed. We have customers in hurricane and tornado country and these racks hold precious solar panels securely with no issues.

I personally have measured 86MPH where my UPM-10X rack and Solarworld panels are installed and there was no problem at all.  I have a customer in the Cascade mountains who saw 120+MPH on his two UPM 8X racks and although there was other damage around his place the racks and panels were secure. They are easy to assemble and the construction is top notch. Fit and finish is always spot on and the holes used to mount the panels are always drilled correctly to match the mounting holes in the solar panels. They are easy to adjust for seasonal tilt and stay where you put them once adjusted. I highly recommend these racks.'
