Pros & Cons

Pros

This is a good solid design for attaching to solar panels. Mounted a 175 watt solar panel on my motorhome roof. Worked great for sealing the solar wiring in.

The panels feel like they are welded on and are rock solid. Made of rigid, very thick plastic, won't corrode or crack. These mounts seem very sturdy.

Beats drilling dozens of holes in your roof. No holes drilled thanks to the generous mounting surface area.

Used sikaflex for glue down. And sand paper or surface prep. Attach 3m vhb tape to the bottom of the brackets and then attach to the roof.

Quality


I'm happy with the product it is a strong and well built.

Competitiveness


I put on my truck roof and its topper with vhb tape (holds exceptionally) and added adhesive/caulk under the foots fo level it off.


I then use the 3m vhb tape on the bottom of the brackets and place the panels and the side brackets.


So i got some 3m vhb tape 4950, sikaflex and eterna bond tape to hold it.


The only problem was that it was too large to mount on a roof ridge of my promaster van.

    The last thing i want to do is put holes in my airstream roof

    Then theres the problem of airflow under the solar panels


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I simply predrilled the holes in the brackets then used self tapping screws to fasten the panels to them

    After that i used sikaflex252 and glued the beejesus out of them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    As it is i did get them safely mounted


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Now the glue was very slow drying


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So these brackets are not coming off panel


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The design trade is tough here because the stiffness of this design is great but the lack of flexibility for mounting ultimately limits the application
