Installation & Usage Guidance
Installing your solar panel with these brackets is straightforward. First, drill holes into each plastic bracket, then align and drill corresponding holes into the frame of your solar panel. Securely fix the brackets to the solar panel using self-tapping screws (not included).
Finally, for a strong and lasting bond, the assembled panel and brackets can be fixed to your chosen flat surface using an appropriate sealant or high-quality adhesive tape (also not included). For maximum security and a long-lasting hold, we strongly recommend using a suitable sealant.
For larger solar panels (120W or more) being mounted on vehicles that travel at high speeds, we highly recommend adding an extra pair of dedicated side mounting brackets for additional security. To neatly and safely route your solar cables, consider using a specialised waterproof double cable entry gland.

Common Questions
What type of adhesive should I use for installation?
For maximum security and a long-lasting bond, we recommend using a high-quality, weather-resistant sealant or adhesive specifically designed for outdoor use on vehicles or roofs, such as Sikaflex 221 or similar. These are not included with the brackets.
Are these brackets suitable for all types of solar panels?
These brackets are compatible with most rigid-frame solar panels available on the market, including all Photonic Universe solar panels. Ensure your panel's frame allows for screw attachment to the brackets.
Do I need additional brackets for larger solar panels?
For larger solar panels (120W or more), especially when mounted on vehicles that travel at high speeds, we strongly recommend using an extra pair of dedicated side mounting brackets for enhanced security and peace of mind.
