Re: [A/S] Solar Panel Suggestions



Mounts aren't really that big a deal, they're easy to fabricate or cheap if
you have to buy 'em. See
http://www.oldengine.org/members/jdunmyer/avion/sep01_03.jpg to see my
brackets. The panels are at

My brackets were made from 1/8" X 2" aluminum strap from the h/w store.
Someone (RV Solar Electric?) makes brackets that they fasten down with some
sort of adhesive. Although I'm not sure if I'd trust it (being a belt +
suspenders type), they claim to have never had a failure.

Yes, the panels break up the clean lines of your A/S, but that's already the
case with the TV antenna, A/C, vents, vent stacks, etc. And the result is
well worth it.
