Can I use this to fasten a small solar panel against an outdoor metal shed?

I wouldn't risk it but that's just me. you'd have to contact manufacturer to see weight limits, and if glue would hold that weight during swinging temps from summer to winter. Think the glue would melt too much in summer to hold that kind of weight, why not screw it in to be safe?

Hi Thomas, That's a good question. If there is a way to fasten it yes. We put it on a metal grid mesh with grommets and zip ties. It certainly provides the much needed shading.

If the shed is heavy duty enough a standard metal garden shed would probably be pushing it. The awning isn't that heavy (50lbs?) but all that weight is on the mounting brackets when you extend the awning, increasing the load on the brackets. The brackets are plenty strong enough so it is up to what you mount it o.

Yes, you could use this indicator lamp for that purpose. It won't be visible in high ambient lighting so it really isn't designed for outdoor viewing unless it is dark outside. You would need to panel mount this through your shed and seal...and run it off of your 120VAC power light switch.

Yes, would need 4 brackets to secure a solar panel. For a larger panel, you might even want 2 more, for a total of 6 - depends on whether the wind can get under the panels.

I think there is a 50/50 chance you could get it to work - But it puts out more than your smaller panel. I think other posters recommendation to check batteries is a great idea - every solar light I ever purchased, the batteries are what failed, not the solar.

Technically you could, but you'd need a lot of 'em. Grid-tie systems tend to have more power. If there's one near you, I'd suggest contacting a local solar power shop to talk about grid-tie; those systems are much more complex and regulations vary from location to location.

Thank you. This flashing is not designed for a metal roof application. It can be done but it would be very difficult. Solar Blaster

I don't see why not. I had considered doing that myself but attached it to the side of a small outbuilding instead good luck.

i used it to connect an array of solar panels. don't know why you would want a relay, but you could connect a inline fuse if you wanted to.

I suspect it's OK for temporary use for your application; though you would need to secure it to the deck properly with bolts. Otherwise, a strong wind will blow it away.

GuidoTKPYes, this kit could do the job of just keeping a battery charged (whether on a bike or other places). The real thing to consider is where are you and how much sunlight will it have daily? If you're in a north state where the shed will have a blanket of snow for 3 months or it's cloudy 90% of the time (which may be why you're not riding the bike), then this won't give you much power without the sun. If you're in Arizona or such where you still get plenty of sun, then maybe it will work for you.

That will work just fine. Just make sure your solar controller is rated for at least 10 amps and preferably 15 amps just to be safe.

They should work well in this application on smooth surfaces like a plastic fence or plastic siding. On rough surfaces you could add a layer of 3M double sided mounting tape. In the long term they may become brittle outdoors.

I don't know if the cables are long enough for that? Are you trying to put the solar panel on the roof or something?

I don't think this would be what you would want to use. It is a powerful little sprayer but it isn't as strong as an industrial and I don't think it would carry enough pressure to do your solar panels.
