Ahoy,
I have been reading all of the recent solar related posts and I would like some opinions on an aspect of the installations that seems to get little discussion.
I am planning to install 2 Panasonic 325W solar panels on the roof of my pilot house. I am investigating mount options and am coming up a bit frustrated.
These are fixed frame glass panels about 62"x44". There is enough room for them, but I'm not sure what would be the most correct, and aesthetic, method to attach them to the boat structure.
I have done this before on my sailboat, but that was a much different animal. There is no crossover, other than the proper electrical installation. Using screwed in L or Z brackets seems crude and a source for future leakage.
Ideally, I would want a somewhat invisible method that would still be strong enough for marine conditions.
Any suggestions?
