How to Mount Furrion Solar Panels to RV Roof

Question:

I just bought and received a Furrion 165W Solar Panel from etrailer and to my surprise the Panel did not come with any mounting / stand-off brackets to allow me to install on the roof of my RV. A Panel needs four brackets which I expect would be sold as a set. Can etrailer identify the Part No. for the set and advise if you can provide same.

I was able to confirm with Furrion that the 165W Solar Panel # FR73SR does not come with mounting hardware included; he also mentioned that they are in the process of re-designing these panels so the brackets they have previously used have been discontinued. With that said, you can use the Replacement Mounting Hardware for Go Power Rigid Solar Panels # 34272708 to mount this panel to your roof and it will work just fine. This kit comes with the Z style brackets that attach to the panel and the roof, and comes with self tapping screws and a nut/bolt that can be used to attach the panel to the bracket- you may need longer bolts though because of differences in the panel thickness between the two companies.

You could also source this hardware locally from a hardware store.
