These are very easy to install and the price is perfect.Make sure you check the spec sheet of your solar module first to ensure it fits the racking.The installation is pretty easy depending on the method you want to install, you have different options.

Great frame, durable, and simple to setup. I was able to fit five 100w solar panels on this stand after buying additional brackets. Three Renogy and two Eco-Worthy panels fit and are all working well on the stand. You will want to weight this down though as it has blown over in high winds in the past for me. I was able to use 4 old rotors and bolt them on the feet for additional weight and stability. This has been outdoors for the last several years and has been holding up well. I would probably get another one when I get more panels.

I liked this solar panel mount so much that I bought three of them. The one in the pictures has three 100 W bifacial panels mounted. I only built this one 2 meters long, and I used the two extra strut channels to connect the two legs for stability. I also mounted four large wheels so that it will be somewhat mobile. When I get it in position, I hold it down with stakes. If I decide to make the position more permanent, I will just remove the wheels. This was fun and easy to assemble, and it is very robust. Everything fit well according to plan. The instructions are very straightforward. I think it is unbeatable for the price. Highly recommended.

I have purchased this solar mounting kit to organize my heavy glass 100W solar panels.Before this I built my own temporary supports with sprinkler system tubing but it was built to move panels in and out.I needed something permanent and was going to build my own out of aluminum parts when I stumbled upon this.I waited until the price got lower and purchased to see if it will work out.It does work for me but you need to consider the price as it fluctuates quite a bit.Few comments on assembly and overall sturdiness.Assembly was not too complicated but you might need help of another person to put both supporting sides together. It can be done by one person but because of the length of the kit it is quite tricky.The mounting brackets are actually very well made and very functional for your typical glass on metal frame solar panels. There is enough brackets to install 4 panels.Now, to the reasons I am taking one star off.There are plastic protectors supplied with the kit to protect the rough metal ends of the kit. Great idea but the fit is loose and they tent to fall out, sometimes even when I am not touching the mount. Not sure how, if it is wind or some animals bumping into the mount but they do.Second reason is that if you only have 2 panels mounted, the kit sags in the middle a bit.I have not put my other 2 panel just yet and hope it will reduce sagging by putting weight on the other side of the kit but I will see when I mount them.In the end, I like it enough that I will buy another set when the price goes back down.

Most jurisdictions (e.g.Ontario) require earth grounding of all metal components in a solar setup. This means that the aluminum trim on the solar panels, and all of the rack mounting needs to be earth grounded. Unfortunately this product comes with no info regarding the best way to achieve this and no grounding accessories.For example, some racks are UL certified for grounding so that you don't need to ground each part of the rack, just the whole rack, or maybe each rail. But no info or support is available, nor are any parts provided for grounding.The install itself is tricky, you need to measure accurately to get the desired angle which cannot be changed easily later. You really need to crank down when tightening the nuts and bolts so that the result will not be rickety, suggest using a socket wrench for the final tightening step.I was surprised that installing eco-worthy solar panels was not easy, there is no real integration between the products, so no advantages of buying both their panel and rack. The 4 clips per panel ALL have to tightened before the solar panel is secure, so this is almost impossible to do as a 1 person install. They really need to have a better way of securing their own panels at least.

This rack isn't top quality but it does the job, and cheaply. Assembly was a bit challenging without a second pair of hands to help. I was surprised that the legs weren't firmly fixed to the rest of the rack but instead pivot in their brackets. This makes the rack very rickety until you can affix the feet to something. Once installed, though, it did its job well.

This product came with extra parts which was a pleasant surprise. The quality is great and the instructions are good.

When I began assembling the mount it seemed quite flimsy, but now it's all bolted together with panels attached it will barely move even if I push on it. I installed it on a wooden frame with some concrete blocks to weigh it down for stability and that's worked well so far. Would have been easier to assemble with two people as my panels are quite big and heavy but making the frame to attach it to took longer than assembling the mount and attaching the panels.The only downside is that I couldn't find any 300W panels narrow enough to fit three on the mount, so I ended up buying two 425W panels instead. If the mount was a foot wider it would be more versatlie, but perhaps that would exceed the amount of weight the frame can handle.

The nuts, bolts, clamps are in separate bags, this makes assembly go faster. I did find that the connector sleeves for joining the horizontal rails to be a very loose fit. This causes the rails to sag, you will need to lay the rails on a solid flat surface in order to bolt these rails with out bowing. The red protective end caps do not fit this version of Uni-Strut. I had to use silicone to keep them inside the rails.Also, there should have been supports included, to the help keep the legs from rocking over sideways. You can rack the entire frame sideways, while you are installing the solar panels. The frame is galvanized to prevent rusting, but the -4- welded feet are merely aluminum painted. All in all, I feel that the frame is well worth the money for an easy solar panel mounting solution, just not of Uni-Strut quality

Update 11/26/22: today I received a package with the missing parts from the seller. Exactly the most important parts that were missing arrived complete. I cut the zip ties and installed the panel clamps. The panels are now very well secured. Thanks to the great cooperation with the seller, these panels mounts are complete, and I now find them to be a 5 star product. They really are great panel mounts, a terrific value for the price and I highly recommend them.Original review: I bought three of these, and I find them to be great except for one thing, they have hardware missing. In everyone of the three boxes there was hardware missing. The missing bolts, washers and channel nuts are easily available at my local hardware store, and I bought enough to finish the assembly which was fairly easy. However, the end and mid panel clamps are not so easy to get, and are pretty unique to these mounts.I did reach out to the seller, and they said that they are sending the clamps, but they are coming from overseas (probably China) and it could take a long while. We are creeping into winter here and I cannot wait. I went ahead and used other bolts where I could, and used zip ties where they were missing, I just used white heavy duty zip ties to hold the panels in place until spring next year. One box had the whole bag of end and mid clamps missing. The others were missing the stainless steel clamp bolts and channel nuts. I used hex head bolts and my own channel nuts temporarily.I will be honest, these mounts are not bad, but beware that parts and hardware may be missing. If it is only the bolts and nuts, just buy them, they are inexpensive and easy to get. If you buy everything to build these from channel struts and hardware, they will cost much more. That is what makes these worth buying.These are stabile, sturdy and very versatile. As you can see I bolted them to deck blocks which allows me to move them if I need to. Yet they are heavy enough to keep them secure to the ground. These mounts can easily hold 5 of my 100 watt panels each, but I had to configure for 12 panels. Hence 3 mounts. I just cut off the ends to butt them up against each other.I can recommend these mounts for their versatility and great value. You can easily mount panels up to 250 watts, maybe more. Just be prepared to deal with missing hardware. If you get the mounts complete, you are getting a great deal. I give them 3 stars because of the missing hardware and the pain in the behind for the missing hardware.
