I returned these because they were too long for my RV. Make sure they work because when I returned them, they got lost and nobody knows anything!

Mine is adhered to a caravan with painted roof, I guess it depends on the quality of the paint adhesion to the material of teh roof.

Hi, I installed the Uni-Solar panel on a Lance 1020 camper and found it pretty simple, simply roll it out and remove the backing. It bounded extremely well so get it in the right place to start with. We traded the camper for a larger one a couple of months after installation so I had limited experience with performance but it kept the battery charged and put out the amps and voltage advertised.

As long as your paint is in good condition they will adhere. In addition to the cables you'll need a mc3 parallel connector for each panel to connect them together.

Not at all. We had no problem with the adhesive. The prep you did should be perfect. Make sure you follow the instructions, and put the panels up in the order recommended, and with the proper overlap. Other than the fact that it is time consuming, and you need 2 people, it is fairly simple. It is beautiful when done! Ours has been up for 2 years now, and our daughter still loves it! We do too.

Yes your roof will leak if you just screw into the roof, (just using silicone or roof mastic will not last) suggest you talk to a roofer if you are not an experienced solar panel installer. We normally use "Stand Off's" with a flashing, not something you want to tackle unless you know what you are doing.

They will work wonderfully and you'll love the finished look. Anchor them well, preferably in the wall studs. I'm estimating that two will do the job, as evenly spaced as possible.

No, the finished panels would not work out and you would have unfinished wood showing.

Honestly i have not hung them yet . They are def smaller than the look in this pic and its super hard to stretch and put it on a frame if you are not professional at it.My bf built a frame for one and we put it on the frame as best as we could and it looked terrible. hopefully you have better luck. Im taking them to a professional to get framed but it will cost another $60 so if you have not purchased them yet i would suggest a plan or paintings that come framed because in the end the paintings will have cost $100 and lot smaller than the sales pic.

They have been up for about a month and we've had no problems at all. The decals are so awesome. W we painted the walls and let it harden for 2 weeks like they suggested and they are textured semi gloss walls. There has been no issues.

The refer would come with a unfinished look. Heavy duty foil. Yes you can purchase the panels separately from us. Please give us a call and we can assist you with the panels.

Shouldn't be too difficult. Although I just folded a couple of sides onto each other. This way all panels are still connected yet it is quite a bit smaller. And when moved outside, no muss, no fuss all sides are still connected. EZ PZ.

I personally have not, but I have seen them either glued or fastened to the top of our few Volkswagen campers as well as a few contractor trailers. I would however make sure the glue that you use does not react to the solar panel backing or the substrate that you are attaching it to.

Yes, you could paint them to match the house and they should work. You would want to paint them before you install them and be sure to prop them open so that the paint will not glue them shut. Make sure to clean them before you paint them and an enamel paint would be better versus a latex paint, since the louvers are aluminum.

they will work with the panels. I used these connectors to hook up two positive cables into one line and another to hook up two negative cables from two panels into another line .I had used 4 panels on my roof two 100 watt and two 40 watt and used these connectors to have one line for positive and one line for negative coming off the roof into the house. hope this helps you George s

You have to install the bars on a clean roof. Any dirt may damage the paint. If installed properly, you cannot over tighten the nuts since you will have a torque wrench that comes with the set. The roof surface will not get damaged by the bars in any way.

Yes they will adhere to the ceiling fine. When the heat is turned on they have a tendency to fall of the wall. Not all of them but a few will come off of the wall because of the adhesive. Be sure to purchase an extra bag of adhesive strips. They have been on my wall for 2 years and I have never had to replace more than 5-6 a year. The glow in the dark is beautiful. Just be sure to put them on the right side during installation.

These are proprietary to this panel, but get another set of Z brackets (regular ones) in case you need extra support at any other point.I used a a 6"x6" block of composite deck planking (fake wood used for decks) under each bracket, slathered with roofing tar as the base screwed to the roof. (From Lowes... and I got the flat one, not the ribbed one)This gave me more room to get perfect panel location since I used four panels for my array. This also allows you and extra inch of airspace under each panel for summer ventilation. Make sure you get good stainless steel screws long enough to penetrate fully and securely.

The brackets would work if you streighten one side out and mount them to the side of the panel. Instead of the bracket looking like a ( Z ) it would look like a ( L ) Use the long slot to screw to the panel and the two holes mount to the roof. theese brackets are soft metal and can be bent easy and now you will have some adjustment to alow for the curveature.
