Solar Panel Short Side Mounts (180 mm)
Solar Panel Side Mount 180 mm White
The white 180 mm spoiler pair — the side bracket that goes into the white caravan mounting kits.
- No roof penetration — the mount is bonded to the surface, so there is nothing to seal and nothing to leak
- Acts as a wind deflector and keeps the correct air gap under the module for aeration
- UV-resistant ABS that will not chalk or crack in service
- 100 % recyclable and roughly 50 % lighter than an equivalent metal fixing
Product overview
What It Is and What It Does
The white version of the BS090017 spoiler set: two universal side mounts for any aluminium framed panel with a 180 mm lateral length. This is the bracket that ships inside the BS09009-Kits caravan mounting kit, so if you are buying kits and brackets from the same range the finish and profile already match.
Fitted to a white caravan or motorhome roof the profile reads as part of the vehicle rather than as hardware bolted onto it. The brackets come ready to fix to panel and surface, and if you choose to drill instead of bond, all fixing positions are marked on the bracket.
Who it is for
- Caravan and camper converters standardising on a white roof hardware finish
- Kit assemblers matching loose brackets to the white mounting kits
- Motorhome dealers fitting solar as a pre-delivery option
- Camping and motorhome solar fitters working on white composite roofs
Problems it solves
- Mixed black and white hardware on one roof looks unfinished
- Kit-only buying leaves no way to replace a single damaged bracket
- Corner-only fixings are marginal on larger panels fitted to moving vehicles
- Panels bonded hard down to a roof have no ventilation path

Materials and manufacture
What It Is Made From
The same UV-resistant ABS moulding as the black profile, pigmented white through the material. Chosen for vehicle roofs because it survives sunlight, bonds reliably and weighs a fraction of an equivalent extrusion.
Quality and certification
Everything in the BS090017-W table above is taken from our own product documentation — 2 pcs per set and a 180 mm lateral length. Nothing on this page is estimated or rounded up to make a better headline. If a tender needs a written certification or test statement, tell us which standard it names and we will say what we can supply.
Customisation
BS090017-W is the white version, and BS090017-B is the same part in black. The standard export pack is 2 pcs per set, 20 sets per outer carton. For a different pack quantity, a printed carton, or short side mounts under your own label, tell us the annual volume you are planning and we will come back on what is possible and what it changes on price.
Comparison
How It Compares
Against the black BS090017-B
Identical part. The black one is the better base if you plan to paint; the white one is the better match on a standard vehicle roof.
Against the 530 mm white long side mount
180 mm for the short edge, 530 mm for the long edge. Kits BS09009-Kits and BS090018-Kits are built around exactly that distinction.
Against buying the complete kit
If you need corner mounts as well for a single panel, the kit is one box and one part number instead of two.

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4
Seat the panel edge into the profile.
Step 5
Leave the adhesive to cure before moving the vehicle.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same bracket that comes in the kits?
Yes — the white short side bracket in the BS09009-Kits mounting kit is this part.
Can I use two sets to support both long edges instead?
For a long edge the 530 mm BS090018 profile is the correct part. The 180 mm set is sized for the short side.
How are they packed for shipping?
Two pieces per set, twenty sets per outer carton.
Do the brackets come with fixings?
The brackets are supplied ready to fix to the panel and surface. The adhesive sealant is not included so you can match it to your roof material.
