Hi!
Currently my 100W Renogy panel is sitting on the roof of my van (2001 Dodge Ram Van). I'm trying to mount it alone and am having the problem of not getting the mounting brackets to be able to align with the roof support ribs. The brackets are too wide to fit in the "valleys" but not quite wide enough to span them. If I could get them aligned with the "mountain" ribs, which are wider, then I would be able to mount it with ease except there are only two "Settings" for the brackets to go into on the panel.
For reference, I'm mounting it across the back (so parallel with the axel) because I want to have the option of putting a roof box on in the future without having to move the panels. Perhaps I will just have to suck it up and commit to not having a roof box.
