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

EXCELENTE ARTICULO.100% RECOMENDABLE.

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.

Good mount for solar panels up to 100W rating or a bit higher wattage rating (the new Renogy most excellent 120W Anti-Shading 12V N-Type ShadowFlux solar panel fits on this mount just fine, for example...); I have purchased three of them so far from Amazon.However, I have encountered one problem, a problem that many other reviewers have mentioned occurred for them as well, and that is missing hardware from the hardware bag. In my case, one of the mounting kits had one item missing from the hardware bag; the missing item was one M8 T-Bolt (F), as it is named on the parts list, which happens to be a very critical part.So, Renogy, you owe me either one of those M8 T-bolts, or an entire new panel mount kit, because the missing part means that I cannot use the mount! Please reply to my review here, or to my Amazon account directly, and I will give you my shipping information, etc., or feel free to ask Amazon to ship me a new mounting kit to replace the one with the missing part. Thank you in advance for handling this matter promptly!

I recently made a decision to install a small off grid solar system to supply my basic electrical needs. While I have had years of experience working with electronics. I was a complete novice when it came to generating electricity with solar panels. As such I choose to start my learning process with one 100 watt Renogy monocrystalline solar panel.Having an iron pipe already in place from an unused satellite dish. The perfect solution for mounting my new solar panel appeared to be by ordering the Renogy pole mount available here on Amazon. The pole mount arrived on time and well packaged in a 32" x 5" x 3" box. The assembly and installation manual was quite detailed including a parts list and drawings. All necessary hardware for assembly and mounting on the pole was included. Please note that you will need a few hand tools to complete the installation which are not supplied. The Renogy pole mount consists of aluminum and stainless steel except for the two 4" U-Bolts, washers and nuts which attach the mount to the pole. I completed the installation by myself without help. First by attaching the mount to the pole and then mounting the solar panel onto the pole mount using the supplied hardware. The completed installation is quite stable and has already weathered 50+ mph wind gusts.As an added plus I have found that by turning the solar panel on the pole to face the sun during the day. I can significantly increase the amount of watts generated each day. I am using this 100 watt off grid system to power my Compaq laptop (25-30 watts), a 2014 Vizio 32 inch smart TV with backlight set as low as possible (20 watts) and several very low wattage LED's (total 11 watts) for lighting. On sunny days I have no shortage of power using either the laptop or TV well into the night. Though I try not to use both at the same time! In the future I hope to replace my laptop with a more efficient HP 14" Chromebook hopefully allowing for the addition of a SunDanzer DCR50 solar refrigerator.I am quite happy with the Renogy pole mount and would certainly buy it again!

Company would not provide three missing nuts. I tried two different chats, one to Renogy and one to the Renogy store at Amazon. Both said I needed to contact the other. Also there is a design flaw on the L brackets. They have perpendicular bolts and nuts that need to occupy the same space.

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.

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.
