Finally getting around to upgrading my panels. I'm trying not to drill anymore holes in the roof so plan is to utilize the Girard awning brackets and the threaded rods I initially installed. I'll be mounting these Renogy 320w panels horizontal and tilted up a bit to get above all the ACs. I'll be using superstruts and aluminum angle. 6 panels on each half should net me 3840w. I should have 10 inches or so flat in the middle so hoping to find slim panels and get 500w+ then add panels in the front as an air deflector and get a couple hundred more watts. Trying to get as much as 5000w as possible.
It'll have full size superstruts on the awning sides then half size by the ACs. Then will put half size superstruts through the threaded rods to connect each half together. I plan on adding 1in pvc piping over the rods to help support additional weight on the roof.
Just added aluminum angle to one side of the awning, wedged between the awning brackets and the awning itself. I'm having an issue with the angles as everything's 90s and connected together so looking for wedge washers or something.
More to come, any suggestions or comments?
