I am doing a small solar powered battery install to have back up power in my house, to keep the furnace fan running during power outages for example. I was getting new asphalt shingles on my roof, so I asked the roofer to install the 2 solar panels for me. It was easy to attach the brackets to my Noma brand solar panels using the included hardware, and instructions I found in a Youtube video for these brackets. I purchased some 3" x 1/4" galvanized lag bolts at the hardware store (I would have preferred stainless but none available locally) and they fit the holes in the brackets perfectly. My house has an old roof made out of 3/4" shiplap (not plywood) so the roofer wasn't concerned if the bolts were going in to rafters or not. I made sure the panels were at least 3 feet away from the peak or edges of the roof. We have frequent high winds where I live, so will see how these brackets stand up. Will update in the future if anything concerning happens. I did not use the mounting screws that came in the package, I believe they are for metal RV roofs, not wood and shingle house roofs. Since I was mounting 2 panels, it was handy to be able to buy a package of 2 sets (8 brackets in total, 4 per panel). Brackets seem to be made out of aluminum, as they are light weight, but seem well made and sturdy. I bought my Noma brand solar panels at Canadian Tire for a good price on Boxing Day, but they did not come with brackets, so these fit the bill. I am trying to use Renogy for all the other components. I purchased their Lycan solar generator and am impressed so far.

2 Sets of Renogy Solar Panel Mounting Z Bracket...I would add that a person buff-up on mounting glue's when not attaching with screws. I know I don't want any more holes in the roof than absolutely necessary, knowledge that was learned from past experiences. Even factory roof entrances. Eventually they too will leak if not routinely maintained (which is pretty much need for success" Those big ole trailers shake and flex a lot, just ride in one for a minute (Only a 5 wheel, and follow the laws of riding in the 5th wheel while going down the road) and you, as I was, will be shocked what those trailer have to endure, also, it enlightened me how well things really need to be secured for travel. Point is, they move around so much the glue has to be very strong, durable, and durable in sunlight, and at the same time flexiable. That thinking also helps prevent tearing the panels apart, and the roof caused from being mounted toooo rigid. I try to design things of duty with a failure spot so it doesn't damage more things, things more expensive, or harder to replace, or larger parts that wouldn't have broke if it had broke somewhere else sooner. Most recent example....I brushed the fender off on a road sign after a tire blew out, and trying to gain control getting off the road....... thank goodness it easily tore the fender off and away vs tearing the fiberglass siding of the trailer off, if the fender had been to well fastened to the siding......That's just smart. Also, Experience. Original point and case, avoid putting new holes in your RV roof if at all possible. Ever had a sun roof? Moon roof? if so then you probably already know about the leak proof design..... more like leak proof for a while.... at best.

Very appropriate. Enough to mount a panel perfectly and firmly and no rust.
