Solar Panel Mounting Brackets

We have chosen a range a mounting brackets and accessories to make installing solar panels as quick, easy and cost-effective as possible..

For a very basic installation, the minimum required is a set of mounting feet, corner mounts or spoiler mounts. It is also possible to use our Sikaflex panel bonding kit to mount the panel directly to a flat surface - NB. this will create an almost permanent attachment that is very difficult to change later.

The next step up is a Unirac Motorhome (Caravan) or Ground/Roof Rack. The Unirac mounting racks are very flexible and can be used with most aluminium framed solar panels. They can be used to adjust the tilt angle of the solar panel to optimise the amount of captured sunlight.

For more permanent installation, or to install a panel array (i.e. more than one solar panel), we recommend a pole-top or pole-side bracket. Mounting a solar panel on top of a pole has the added advantage of raising the panel up and therefore reducing the shading effect of local terrain. Pole-top and pole-side brackets are currently available for a selection of solar panels and can be supplied with a fixed or adjustable tilt-angle. Please see the quick-reference table below to see if a bracket for your solar panel is available.

As a general rule of thumb, mount solar panels with a 45-degree tilt angle from horizontal.
However, if you wish to maximise the output from your solar panel, adjust the tilt angle:
November: 60-degrees / March: 45-degrees / May: 30-degrees / September: 45-degrees
