S-5!, a solar and metal roof attachment provider, has developed a clamp for solar carport applications. The S-5-CP clamp (CP for carport) is engineered to fit both “C” and “Z” purlin-framed structures, using a non-penetrating attachment for solar applications. Its design protects against corrosion by eliminating the need for drilled holes.

“Carport solar is one of the fastest-growing segments in attachment technology,” said Rob Haddock, S-5! CEO and founder. “The S-5-CP clamp enables engineers and installers to design stronger, simpler and more cost-effective solar carport systems using trusted S-5! technology.”
The clamp pairs with S-5!’s PVKIT solar mounting solution for a rail-less solar panel installation that reduces the number of parts for installation. With a bottom-oriented setscrew, Installation can be performed from beneath the canopy using its bottom-oriented setscrew, which leaves access for wiring and maintenance and allowing on-the-fly adjustments.
When coupled with an EPDM gasket installed between modules, the S-5! carport system reduces the risk of leaks. Using the S-5-CP clamp, engineers and contractors can select their preferred purlins and spacings.
“From rooftops to carports, our team continues to innovate and adapt our attachment technologies to meet the demands of solar applications,” Haddock said. “The S-5-CP clamp transforms underutilized space into a valuable clean energy resource, an ideal solution for contractors and developers seeking reliable, water-resistant solar integration on canopy-style structures.”
