Review on RENOGY Side Of Pole Mount For 50W/100W Solar Panel - Flat Surface Off-Grid Systems, Up To 100W by Eric Graves

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very secure best in my review

I used these to mount five solar panels to the roof of our bus conversion. It was a little scary because it will keep the solar panels tilted up somewhat even when I'm driving down the road, but it was necessary because the roof of the bus is curved and I couldn't get the panels to lay flat. I ended up mounting these with the recommended bolt, but I also used Dynatron 550 seam sealer (from the local auto-parts store) to mount it to the roof. I squeezed some into the drill hole before putting the bolt on, I squeezed some underneath the base of each mount, and I squeezed some all over the top and sides of the mount to keep the bolt from ever shifting. We've had it up there now for about half a year, and it is holding very strong. We've driven over a thousand miles with it on there, and it's not moving at all. The mount itself is easy to assemble, and it's easy to adjust the angle. I'm very happy and highly recommend.I got this mount as opposed to the other type of tilting mount because I needed to tilt my panels the long way instead of the short way, and the other type of mount is too short. These work great!

Pros
  • Lightweight design makes it easy to transport and install
Cons
  • May not allow for adequate air flow for cooling solar panels
