Review on Enhanced Renogy Solar Panel Tilt Mount Brackets with Foldable Legs, Ideal for Off-Grid Systems on Flat Surfaces by John Collins

I bought a pair of 100w Renogy panels to use with my caravan. Even though my kit came with roof mounts, I knew I wouldn't mount them there. On the east coast our campsites are cut into the forest so there is no choice which way to park, chances of heading south are pretty slim. I also didn't want to drill more holes in the roof or climb up there to position the panels. The mobile mount and 20ft cord means I'm much more likely to get them in the sun, our favorite spots are well shaded. When researching floor mounts, I found that many people join two panels together and use them in a vertical orientation. Finding a flat spot can be a challenge, and why weigh it down while mounting it vertically? This is especially true if you're using a home-made mount with a stand. Used horizontally they have a lower profile in relation to wind and other disturbances and using them as two separate units allows you to place them a few meters apart on uneven ground if required. I have a metal dealer around the corner. From my office, I evaluated what they were selling and realized it would cost me more to make mounts than it would to buy Renogy modules. I was thinking of making some collapsible/standalone legs but that would give me less range of adjustment. What is pictured above I did to make installing and removing easier. Since they are always used horizontally I first cut off the excess material so the piece that attaches to the panels is the same width as the panel. I then fitted nuts into the panel frames that accept 6mm x 16mm thumbscrews with a 22mm head (found here at Revain). So for assembly it is enough to take the assembled frames and attach 4 knurled screws to each plate, no tools are needed. I enlarged the holes in the brackets that bolt to the frame so the knurled portion of the thumbscrew doesn't bang when tightened. I've considered shortening the legs to sit on the floor but depending on where I mount them I may need a number of adjustments so I left them long. At my latitude, my incline can vary from 60 degrees to 12 degrees, which is a pretty wide range. I use the free Levels app on my phone to set it up when I install it. If you are looking for websites that can find the best angle for your location per month.
