Homemade Solar Panel Mounting Bracket

How to wire a quick disconnect system for your solar panel.

Install the z brackets to the panel. A portable solar panel stand is one of the most beneficial upgrades anyone can do to a portable solar system. Measure the distance from the top of one z bracket to the bottom of the other on the longest side then measure across the panel from the end of one z bracket to the other. This bracket does not follow the sun and is fixed to set angles depending on where it is located what direction the sun shines during the day and the season of the year.

Or you can install your home photovoltaic array on a pole mount to raise it above ground level. Now that we ve got our mount we need a way to plug it into our electrical system. We wired our roof panels in parallel using the signstek y branch cable connector so we had some open mc4 connectors to plug in to. Nobody wants their solar panel blowing over in the wind.

You can make the measurement wider or longer as i did. Diy solar panels can use standard mounting brackets with placement close to the ground on either fixed tilt or adjustable angle metal racks. The project is to make an adjustable but static non motorized x y mount for a flat panel solar collector.
