Technical Specifications Parameter Value Manufacturer Photonic Universe SKU SET_BR Product Type Mounting Accessories Material Plastic Colour White Cable Gland Diameter 3-7mm Corner Bracket Dimensions (each) 15 x 15 x 6.5 cm Side Bracket Dimensions (each) 18 x 9 x 6.5 cm Cable Gland Dimensions 11 x 9 x 4 cm Combined Weight 2.7kg Installation & Mounting Considerations This mounting set is designed for straightforward installation, primarily utilising a bonding method to secure solar panels to flat surfaces. The process involves preparing the brackets and solar panel frame, then bonding the assembly to your chosen surface. Step Guidance Bracket Preparation Drill holes in the designated places on each bracket. Panel Attachment Place brackets on the solar panel frame, mark, and drill smaller corresponding holes in the frame. Fix brackets to the solar panel using self-tapping screws (not included). Surface Bonding Bond the bracket-fixed solar panel to the roof using an appropriate sealant or adhesive (not included). Cable Gland Integration Feed extension cables through the waterproof cable gland, then bond the gland to the roof in the same manner as the brackets. Typical Applications Application Description Motorhomes & Campervans Securely mount solar panels to vehicle roofs for on-the-go power. Caravans Ideal for robust and low-profile solar installations on caravan roofs. Boats & Yachts Provides a reliable mounting solution for marine environments. Sheds & Garages Suitable for off-grid power systems on flat-roofed outbuildings. Common Questions What type of solar panels are compatible with this set? This set is designed for rigid-frame solar panels, particularly those with a round profile cable. It is ideal for Photonic Universe rigid frame solar panels and most similar models. Are screws and adhesive included with the kit? No, self-tapping screws for attaching brackets to the solar panel frame, and appropriate sealant/adhesive for bonding to the roof, are not included and must be purchased separately. Can this set be used on slightly curved surfaces? While primarily designed for flat surfaces, the flexibility of bonding can accommodate very slight curvatures. For significantly curved surfaces, specialised flexible panel mounts may be more suitable. What is the purpose of the cable gland? The waterproof double-entry cable gland allows solar panel cables to be fed through the roof of your vehicle or structure while maintaining a watertight seal, preventing leaks and protecting wiring. Installation Notes Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from grease before applying adhesive. Use a high-quality, UV-resistant, and weather-resistant sealant/adhesive suitable for outdoor use and the specific materials of your roof (e.g., GRP, metal, plastic). Allow adequate curing time for the adhesive/sealant before exposing the installation to harsh weather or vehicle movement. For added security, especially on moving vehicles, consider using self-tapping screws in conjunction with adhesive for the brackets, if your roof structure allows. Seal screw heads with sealant for waterproofing. Ensure sufficient clearance under the solar panel for airflow to prevent overheating and maintain efficiency. Before You Buy Verify the dimensions of your solar panel frame to ensure compatibility with the bracket sizes. Confirm the cable diameter of your solar panel to ensure it fits within the 3-7mm range of the cable gland. Consider the type of roof material and choose an appropriate adhesive/sealant for a strong, long-lasting bond. Assess the structural integrity of your mounting surface, especially for mobile applications, to ensure it can safely support the solar panel and withstand environmental stresses. Consult a qualified installer if you are unsure about any aspect of the installation process. Please verify all specifications and compatibility requirements before purchase.
