Panel mounting hardware
Date: Fri Oct 10, 2008 3:18 am. By: M.P. Android
I need to mount a single, roughly 12"X24" PV panel (12V, !A_ on a southwest facing wall. I would need adjustable elevation, and it would be nice to swing azimuth a bit, though I could fake something to make it face solar south. What I've found on the web seems too big, or meant for mounting on flat or nearly so rooftops, or on a pole. Can somebody point me at either something ready made, or something a ham-handed sort with a hacksaw and a drill can make? Or should I just get some metal angles and start messing around for the sake of experience?
Thanks....

How about reworking one of the brackets used for wall-mounting plasma displays or panel TV sets?
