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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A lower priced option for mounting your solar panel and it shows.

I purchased this mount for my solar panel as at $45 it was half the price of the other mount available on Best Buy.I noticed that several reviewers recommend having two people to install this mount and I agree however I was able to get it installed without help but it wasn't easy. Trying to hold this mount together while getting the bolts tightened isn't easy especially from the top of a ladder. Adjusting the mount to the correct angle is even more difficult even without the panel on the mount. Once the panel in on the mount adjusting the angle is impossible.I had to cut off the extra length of the upper u-bolt so it would clear the panel.I had to drill holes for a smaller u-bolt as it only has holes for the included 4 inch u-bolts. No one sells a 4 inch pole mount for the side of a shed.The mount itself is well built with heavy gauge aluminum brackets.
