Product overview
What It Is and What It Does
Z-shaped aluminium RV solar panel mounts for fixed flat module installation. Compatible with all roof types and solar modules, these secure your modules to the roof of a recreational vehicle in a fixed flat position — the panels do not tilt, and that is the point.
Fixed flat module mounting is the right answer if you use your RV occasionally, if you generally do not dry camp, if you are a spring-through-summer weekend user, if you do not want to think about parking the vehicle so the modules face the sun, if you cannot or do not want to climb on the roof to tilt panels at every stop, or if you simply need to keep the cost of the installation down.
Who it is for
- Occasional and weekend RV users who do not dry camp
- Motor home and camping vehicle owners fitting a first array
- RV dealers offering a standard fixed-flat solar package
- Anyone who does not want to climb on the roof at every stop
Problems it solves
- Tilting mounts mean climbing on the roof every time the vehicle is parked or moved
- Adjustable systems cost more and add parts that can loosen on the road
- Curved and ribbed RV roofs defeat mounts designed only for flat surfaces
- Working out how many feet a given module needs is guesswork without guidance

Materials and manufacture
What It Is Made From
Aluminium Z feet. The Z profile steps the panel off the roof and takes the load through the vertical web, which is what lets a small foot carry a full-size module on a vehicle at highway speed.

Comparison
How It Compares
Against tilting mounts
A tilting mount produces more energy from a parked vehicle. A fixed flat mount produces energy without anyone climbing on the roof. For occasional and weekend use, fixed flat wins.
Against the flush mount kit
The flush mount kit is a boxed set of four feet for one panel. These are the same family, ordered by the foot for whatever count your modules need.
Against the ABS bonded mounts
Bonded ABS is the answer when you refuse to drill the roof. Z feet are the answer when the roof can take a fastener and you want a mechanical fixing.

Step 3
Bolt the feet to the panel frame.
Step 4
Mark, drill and seal each roof fixing point.
Step 5
Fix down with sealant under every foot and under every fastener head.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How many feet do I need per panel?
Four — one set — for smaller square modules up to 85 watts. Six for larger rectangular modules, with one set at each of the corners and one set in the middle of the module rail.
What if I have four large modules?
Twenty-four Z feet.
Will these work on a curved roof?
Yes. They are described as suitable for flat or curved roofs and compatible with all roof types.
Can I tilt the panels later?
Not with these — they are a fixed flat system. If you need tilt, look at the adjustable RV roof mount.
