Renogy Solar Panel Side of Pole Mount for 50W/100W Solar Panel (Mount only) for Flat Surface Off-Grid Systems, and Panels Up to 100W

Material quality is excellent. Sometimes I’ve had scraps of aluminum from machining still left in the channels and the packaging has a lot to be. Assembly is very straightforward and one person can easily get it done in about 10-15 minutes. All aluminum and stainless steel.

Bought this mount for a 100-watt solar panel for the front gate opener. The assembly is straightforward, however it would be handy if they included some plugs for the ends of the extrusions. This would keep the bolts from sliding out during assembly. Please note that the U-bolts are 100 mm (~3.9 inches) with short thread length, so they will not work on 2 1/2" fence post. I purchased some 2.5" U-bolts and redrilled the cross members to accommodate the new u-bolts. The assembly is "pretty floppy" until you get the cross members installed. So, per the description, two pairs of hands would be helpful (though not essential). In all a sturdy bracket to which the panel mounts easily.

Bought 4 of these for my DIY solar project. I had Renogy 100w panels and I wanted to install them on two poles. This is what this bracket is for. The assembly is not complicated but may take some time, especially if you have several to assemble. The metal parts are durable aluminum, well made and preform their function well with no issues, will not corrode. But, as the joints are adjustable (so that different angles can be set for the panel) you end up with a thing that needs to be properly leveled and adjusted while being installed on a pole, possibly standing on a ladder. It was not that easy. The U- bracket that connects the mount with the pole is massive and is made for a really thick pole, mine were smaller, so I ended up buying new U-brackets and drilling different holes for those. As both the panel and these mounts were from Renogy I had no issues attaching panels with 4 small brackets that hold each in place. Overall, recommend this mount but you will need to be patient with the installation.

I used these mounts to install my two Newpowa 100Watt Solar Panels to an existing pole. The mounts are well built and solid. Don't be overwhelmed by all the bolts, nuts and washers; follow the instructions and you'll be able to assemble these mounts in short order.When I first assembled the mounts I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to use them with my panels. The Newpowa panels are large square panels which differ from other 100Watt panels which are rectangular. This seemed to be a problem because they were a bit too wide to securely mount without the charge block on the back of the panel butting up against the cross beam. After some remeasuring and reorienting the panels I was able to mount them and they have been working perfectly for the last several weeks.The U bracket is very large so I had to install a 2x4 on the pole to give it enough girth to secure the U bracket in place and prevent the whole assembly from spinning. I am very happy with the end result and the solar panels are properly aligned with the sun. One thing to keep in mind adjusting the angle is time consuming as you have to manually torque each bolt when adjusting the angles. I suggest slightly tightening them until you have the angle you want then go back and torque down each bolt.

2 boxes had Missing hardware. Got 28 washers that didn’t fit in the two boxes i ordered. Plus two screws missing which meant I had to buy more myself. Wasting time and money.Poor design. Was unable to rotate the frame 45deg angle to the sun as the holes didn’t line up to give free range for rotation.Unclear instructions: wasted time.

The media could not be loaded. I am very pleased with the build quality of this mount. I used a pressure treated 4x4 as my post. Then mounted this solar mount to it. The U bolts provided will accept upto a schedule 40 pipe or a 4x4.The true test came last night with 60mph winds. This mount held up like a charm.Assembly took approximately 40 minutes and my wife said it was a breeze. I highly recommend this mount and will buy another if i need a way to mount a small PV array.

I purchased two of these pole mounts from Renogy because I have had great experiences with prior products. This one surely doesn't meet my expectations. I opened the package and counted all the parts. The kit was missing one nut, 3 lock washers, and one extrusion bolt. There were 5 extra washers in the package. I started building the mounts and found that the instructions are terrible. They claim you need a 18MM wrench when you actually need a 19mm. How can they make this type of mistake? They also provide extrusion bolts that are so long that they cross the path of two perpendicular to it. This makes it difficult to tighten down and will be even more complex when it is sitting up 10 feet high on a pole. Very disappointed with this product.

I used this to mount a 200 watt Renology panel and it seems fine so far, even though the description says 100 watt max. But it was not fun trying to mount it all, even with two people.
