Any suggestions for how to mount my solar panels to the metal roofing? My roofing is trapezoid construction so I was going to purchase the S-5! RibBracket, but the vendor that would have allowed me to order less than 45 at a time seems to not carry them anymore. Even if I do get these, Do you...

This is the first time I have heard of a combiner box. Is this just to help me with making sure I'm optimizing the panels even if I am adding a variety of sizes and types to get as much coverage on the roof as I can? Yeah I might have to go with this. I just don't know how much my parents...

Yeah that is my plan other than running new wiring throughout the trailer, but everything in the battery compartment is going to be getting replaced. Unfortunately there is no sort of connectivity up there. To even get cell reception up there I have to drive out and head to the nearest town...

Where did you guys get the S-5 rib brackets? The vendor I was looking at seems to not carry any s-5 products now and the others I have found require purchasing in bulk. I just need for the time being. Maybe 16 total in the future so I really don’t want to get 48.
