Re: [Diesel-RVs] Mounting Solar Panels

No way will I go charging down the highway with those expensive panels held down with nothing but sticky tape. Plus, I want enough structural integrity so that I can tilt the panels up to the optimal angle for winter boondocking - it makes a big (up to 40%) difference in power, but also a huge difference in stress on the mounting points.

I used polyurethane adhesive plus sixteen 1/4" "molly"-style anchors to mount panels somewhat smaller than yours.

Here's some detail about my install: <http://www.damouth.com/RVStuff/SolarInstall.shtml>
