Is this way of mounting solar panel in fiberglass good ?
Ive got a tiny van but with a raised fiberglass roof that gives good headspace.
It's tiny so i'll just be able to fit a 200 to 250W panel.
I dont like drilling holes but i dont want to only glue so...
\- Black = Fiberglass roof
\- Blue = Solar panel
\- Red outside = Aluminium angle bracket that goes the full length of the panel
\- Red inside = Aluminium backing plate that goes the full length of the panel
\- Green = Stainless steel bolts bolted to the panel and through the roof.
Of course there will be sikaflex between the angle bracket and outside roof and between the backing plate and the inside roof.
I feel like this is a good way to mount the panel ?
I know there are Z brackets that are made for this but they are small, and i feel like having the angle bracket and backing plate going the full length of the panel is going to give much more structural rigidity to the roof when big gusts of wind will go under the panel.
Rather than Z brackets being only on precise spots that could rip out the fiberglass.
But maybe im mistaken ?
What do you think ?
Thanks for reading !
