Product Information

Full details

The Lowenergie Solar Panel Mounting Brackets are designed for DIY enthusiasts and professional installers seeking a secure, non-invasive way to mount larger solar panels onto flat surfaces like caravan roofs or motorhomes. These brackets provide a reliable, aerodynamic foundation that eliminates the need for drilling, though users must be prepared to handle the adhesive bonding process carefully to ensure a weatherproof, permanent seal.

FAQs

Can I use these brackets on a curved roof?

These brackets are designed for flat surfaces. Using them on a significantly curved surface may result in a weak bond due to limited contact area.

What type of adhesive should I use?

Use a professional-grade structural adhesive sealant such as Sikaflex 252 or equivalent, which is specifically designed for bonding components to vehicle exteriors.

Do I need to drill the solar panel frame?

No, the panels usually sit within the brackets and are secured with self-tapping screws through the side of the bracket into the aluminum panel frame.

Are the screws included?

The kit provides the brackets and the cable entry gland. You will typically need to provide your own stainless steel hardware for attaching the panels to the brackets.

Can I remove the brackets later?

Because they are designed for structural bonding, removal is difficult and typically requires cutting through the adhesive bond with a wire tool, which may leave residue on the roof.

Troubleshooting

Brackets are not sticking to the roof

Ensure the surface was thoroughly degreased with isopropyl alcohol before application. If the surface is dusty or waxed, the adhesive will not bond correctly.

Water leaking around the cable entry

Re-apply a high-quality silicone or polyurethane sealant around the base of the cable gland and ensure the compression nut is tightened securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Prevents roof leaks by eliminating drill holes
  • Comprehensive kit includes all necessary mounting components
  • High-strength construction suitable for larger panels
  • Clean, professional white finish matches most recreational vehicles

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of high-quality structural adhesive
  • Permanent installation makes panel removal difficult
  • Not suitable for curved or highly irregular roof surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean the mounting area on your roof using isopropyl alcohol to remove wax, dirt, and oxidation.
  2. Bonding: Apply a structural, weather-resistant adhesive (sold separately) to the underside of the brackets. Press firmly onto the roof and secure with masking tape until cured.
  3. Compatibility: These brackets are designed for larger panel frames. Always check your panel's frame thickness to ensure a snug fit within the brackets.
  4. Maintenance: Periodically inspect the adhesive seal around the perimeter of each bracket for cracks or signs of lifting, especially after extreme temperature fluctuations or long road trips.
