WindyNationSide of Pole Solar Panel Mount Rack for 30W to 120W Solar Panel

Great product. I fastened it to a round fence pole to charge a battery for an electric fence. After several months and a brutally cold and long winter the product stood the test and looks new still.

Good quality, light and functional

This is an excellent rack for my other solar panel.I had to use smaller u bolts and drill some holes to accomodate these u bolts. It really helped to review the instructions a couple of times. Directions were photos.We assembled part of it indoors so adding the rack to the pole was easier. I also had to purchase 4 nuts that were missing from the package. Not a big deal for me, I have a lot of hardware here.I was impressed with the strength of this rack and solar panel security. We have some high winds at times.I am happy with this rack and meets my needs and expectations.

Practice putting this together and carefully consider the tools you'll need. Simple crescent wrenches, screwdrivers, and a ladder aren't enough... have 2 ladders and 2 people available. Once you get attached to the pole and parts attached, the parts don't slide easily and/or slide down and jam. The second person is necessary to hold it in place while you tighten it up, Good mount, really tough to assemble in the air... best to figure it out on the ground if you have pipe the same diameter as the mounting pole

The quality of the parts are excellent. The instructions were clear and concise. They use stainless steel screws and the framing parts are extruded aluminum. It was easy to assemble. I installed three of these by myself. The aluminum framing is light and easy to maneuver into position. If you're mechanically inclined and you have simple tools, you can assemble one of these supports in less than 15 minutes and that's really taking your time. The hole size slots for the crossbeam connection has three pole sizes: 2", 4" and 6 inches, I used the 2" inch U-bolt for a 2 inch galvanized rigid electrical pipe/conduit for the pole. I highly recommend that you assemble the panel mount before you take it in to the field that way you can easily slide the whole assembly over the top of the pole and tighten the U-bolts into position since it's that light. One person could do this. I used strut channel to connect the pole to a building so It would be structurally secure. The only negative comment I can make, is that some of the washer hardware was missing, out of one of the cartons, so I had to take a trip to Home Depot. The Q.C. check out the door should have caught that.
