Good evening a suggested low cost balcony railing mount for Solar panels. : )
There will be two of these ladder sections to each panel, one either end.
The panels will be mounted horizontally.
We have not sorted the configuration for the bottom of the cut off ladder section, to give the correct angle yet.
But its a start, four rungs to each ladder section hung by shelly mounts.
I have found some shelly mounts at about £5 each, I think one to each ladder section should do, that is two per panel ?
The ladders to cut up can be obtained on local Face book or Free Cycle for nothing : )
So far so good, any opinion as to using two shelly mounts per ladder section are welcome.
We are 50 yards due Souh West from the sea, the balcony faces South.
The panels should bolt through the edges of this ladder OK, but some ladders are a box section, so long bolts or threaded rod would be required.
The ladders sections will be cleaned up and possibly painted green to match the railings : )
There is a stream below the balcony, not one that is ever visited as it is private land and hidden away by trees.
God Bless Chadd & Alanna who provided lots of input : )
