Fairings for “up and over” installs?

liamlunchtray · May 24, 2023

For those of you that have done large “up and over” installs - have you used a fairing at the front? Any suggestions or issues? I still need to trim down the strut and make connections, but my mount is pretty much finished up.

It's hard to tell the height needed, but "RVing with Tito" used a pvc home rain gutter turned so the bottom faced foward. With a little tirmming it made a nice wind & tree branch fairing for cheap.

I'll check that out! Its about 3.25" from the roof to the bottom of the panels between the 2 rails, but more as it gets closer to the edge.

I don't have any input but just love the massive solar farm on that beast lol. I would end up trimming around the sides with some plastic piece with vents for cosmetics really other than that I think a fairing would be good to have on the front.
