What type of mounting hardware is used to install Renogy 250 watt solar panels onto a shingle roof garage?
462131
The more I have read about mounting the panels to a shingled roof like mine, I have decided against it. I have chosen to mount on a pole. There are 2 types that support this panels weight. Both on Ebay, Solar panel pole mount/holds 6 large panels/fits a 6" pipe, Adjustable bracket for 399.00 dollars or the other is Universal solar panel pole mount kit, holds 2 large panels/fits a 2" pipe for 150.00 dollars. Hope this helps you out. My email direct is shortiesfather@gmail.com if you have any further questions..Good Luck, Brian

The mounting kit produces no power. The picture just shows the mounting hardware on a solar panel.

The one I bought was 30 watts, but you can get different wattages in their line. The Instapark they mention here are the brackets you buy to mount your panel. It is not a solar panel.

Hi, here is the mounting I did. I used my old C-Band post and tilt actuator and have a sun tracker to point the panels at the sun. I need to find the place on Amazon where images are uploaded Here it is at my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=4027106216630&l;=033a6da599

They mount via a (purchased separately) adhesive. There are several adhesives suggested in the item description: Sikaflex 252, 291 or similar. You need to have a clean, flat surface to mount them on. Apply adhesive, press in place and ideally clamp it (or place something heavy on it for several hours until it sets). The type of roof it works on depends more on the adhesive than on the brackets. As long as the surface is relatively flat so the bracket has something to stick to, then the answer is probably yes. I have glued mine to the metal roof on my RV and they are successfully holding solar panels down.

There are two images on Amazon showing my shed and this described mounting. If you're not concerned with aesthetics like me as I was mounting to my 10x12 shed. I mounted 6 solar panels to a cedar wood frame that was lag bolted through the roof to the joists of the shed. I then installed what I purchased from Home Depot qty 3- 2"x8' long aluminum angled rod that screwed to the cedar frame with conventional 1 5/8" wood screws every 12". I screwed the solar panel's aluminum frame directly to the aluminum 2"x8' angle rod elbow with 1/2" long sheet metal screws every 6". (Two of the 2"x8' aluminum angled rods were mounted horizontal on the cedar frame and the third was cut in half for the sides) I was cautious not to drill holes to close to the face of the solar panel while mounting not to damage the solar cells and/or under side of the solar panel itself.

I own 4 Grape Solar aluminum frame 100 watt monocrystalline panels and have recently bought the Renogy 100w flexible panel. The Renogy panel is very durable, but there are a couple of things to watch out for: first of all, the junction box does not appear to be waterproof. That means that, when you receive the panel, it would be wise to RTV silicone the junction box top section to prevent moisture entry. Secondly, the junction box mounting, unlike aluminum framed panels, is on the top side of the panel and needs to be handled more carefully during installation; the wires coming out of the box are very stiff, and the leverage that the wires exert on the box is considerable. Handle with care during installation; after installation it should be fine. Overall this technology is a definite step up; the output compares very favorably with my Grape Solar panels (mentioned above).

You can mount it however you want. I originally had it mounted to the underside of my solar panel but later moved it next to the wall by my battery. I just used double sided foam tape.

You can use same hardware that ridged lights use , I have a tj and bolted it threw the top of window with existing hardware

Not if you mount only two 55 Watt lights in one circuit. Especially on a newer vehicle. The wires provided in the kit are of a sufficient thickness (gauge). I have the lights mounted all around my roof rack and they work fine with no overloading on wiring.

I just checked the Renogy web site for further details. When you click on the 200W mono starter kit you can find the installation instructions including directions for mounting on an RV roof. They suggest the use of "well nuts" or expansion nuts which will provide a more water proof and secure mounting on an RV roof. You need to purchase the nuts from Renogy.

Although you can indeed mount the solar panels on the roof of your camper, I think you'd find the portability of the frame better to your liking. You can move it into the sun and park your camper in the shade. I am using an 800 watt converter connected to 2 12 volt RV batteries. The panels sit outside about 15 feet from my shed where the batteries are set up. I managed to make it through a winter here in Mt. Hood, Oregon with my 2 RV batteries maintaining a 12.9 to 13.4 charge. However, you'll be drawing off your batteries continuously so you may want to keep a gas generator handy in case you need to top off your charge at dark.

It is just mounting hardware- does not include the solar panel. You have to buy a solar panel separately.

I bought this to mount to an RV roof so the application to a shingled roof I,m uncertain if there is enough airspace. However the brackets do fit the solar panel.

Don't know about shipping, doubt it includes install. I don't see any mention of racks to attach the panels to your roof. Once connected to suitable electric grid voltage, this system will automatically generate power (by providing current) and back-feed it into your electrical panel. Whatever you don't use in your house is sent into the electric grid, assuming you live in a net-metering state. This will not work with a generator, which creates too unsteady voltage.

Depending on how many panels your connecting there are options 12 or 24 volt this is a link to the Renogy downloads with several schematics for different configurations. This link goes to the 2 panel setup using connectors http://renogy.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/200W-1x2.pdf. The next link takes you to the downloads page where you will find the configurations. http://renogy.com/renogy-solar/products/downloads/Hope it helps.
