Solar - Mounting options
There are two ways to mount your solar panels, either on a roof or on the ground. We provide two solutions: A simple flat roof mount and a ground mount option. Each option will accommodate one panel. For more complex roofs there are commercial solutions that are best served through a third party.
These can be used in conjunction with the expansion cables to add extra panels to your Ark.
- A mounting option for one panel
- Flat roof: 6 piece plastic mount with velcro provided for the panels. These mounts stick down to the roof using silicone adhesive.
- Tile roof: Railing and clips for one panel.
- Ground mount: Two "A" frames to support the panel to the correct angle. Ground anchors to keep the frame in place.
- Tech specs for the mounts
- Make sure your roof can take the weight of the panels. They weigh in at 25kg each.
- Panels have a 2m² sail area so make sure you install in light winds and that the ground mount solution is WELL anchored.
