Homemade Solar Panel Mounting Bracket

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

Homemade solar panel mounting bracket.

The project is to make an adjustable but static non motorized x y mount for a flat panel solar collector. Or you can install your home photovoltaic array on a pole mount to raise it above ground level. 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. Install the z brackets to the panel.

Diy solar panels can use standard mounting brackets with placement close to the ground on either fixed tilt or adjustable angle metal racks. A portable solar panel stand is one of the most beneficial upgrades anyone can do to a portable solar system. Having used many solar generators i have had to charge them with solar panels many times putting solar panels directly onto the ground works pretty okay during the summer but during the fall winter and spring a solar panel stand makes a huge difference in power production. 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.

Nobody wants their solar panel blowing over in the wind. You can make the measurement wider or longer as i did. Cut 2x4 s according to the measurements two for each.
