Pros & Cons
Pros
The newpowa panels are large square panels which differ from other 100watt panels which are rectangular. This is just a shed power source for now while i learn more but is doing exactly what i wanted it to. Bought this mount for a 100-watt solar panel... Read More
The pole mount works great and relatively easy to assemble. The stainless steel bolts are nice, but i forgot to put some anti-seize compound on the threads before putting on the pole. The assembly is pretty floppy until you get the cross members insta... Read More
Cons
The renolgy rng-50d is not compatible with 50w and 100w solar panels. The u-bolt size did not even fit the bracket holes. The mounting clips that hold the solar panel on to the mounting are to short for my panel which i think is 1.
Highlights
Quality
I am very pleased with the build quality of this mount.
That all being said its very well made and should last for decades.
This second unit is a used product and missing some nuts and washers and no manual.
Given these are made for 100 watt panels, they are way over engineered.
Price
This mount is cheaper and offers easier adjustment.
This pole mount is a great deal even if i have to go to my hardware store and get my own bolts, nuts, and washers!
So you may think that i’m unhappy-not so, because the lowest cost single panel pole mount is $340 from my local solar dealer.
The amazon listing for this states this works for 50-100 watt panels.
Shipping
Received it quickly and in good shape.
I eventually sent a photo explaining what i needed, which finally solved the problem and the right sized bolts were shipped.
I went back and forth with renogy customer service for over a month and exchanged a dozen emails or so trying to get renogy to ... Read More
Packaging/appearance
However, the nuts, bolts and washers come packaged in a flimsy plastic cover which were torn on both the mounts i bought.
I’m writing this review to inform people that this is the third pole mount that i’ve ordered and i’m well pleased, but i’ve yet... Read More
Competitiveness
I have to purchase the equivalent for missing items from menards.
I bought this because it looked like a better solution than the center mount solution i had originally selected based on price.
The newpowa panels are large square panels which differ from other 100watt panels which are rectangular.

This is what this bracket is for

But as the joints are adjustable so that different angles can be set for the panel you end up with a thing that needs to be properly leveled and adjusted while being installed on a pole possibly standing on a ladder

The u bracket that connects the mount with the pole is massive and is made for a really thick pole mine were smaller so i ended up buying new ubrackets and drilling different holes for those
