Today we're going to take a look at the adjustable mount kit for the Go Power Rigid Solar Panels. These adjustable mounts allow you to angle your solar panel for maximum sun exposure. They will help increase performance up to 40% during the winter months when the sun is lower in the sky. These brackets are compatible with the Go Power Overlander, the Retreat, the Weekender, the Solar Elite and the Solar Extreme kits. They are made of a marine grade aluminum construction, which will protect against rusting corrosion.These spreader arms will have three tilt positions. Just to show you how that operates, I haven't put these together yet just to show you.
Basically what'll happen is this mounting foot right here, using these installation bolts, will attach it to the top of your vehicle. This bracket up here will mount to the top of your solar panel. Then these brackets right down here is what'll mount to the bottom of your solar panel.Basically what'll happen is if you bolt these two spreader arms together at the lowest holes, right here, put two bolts through there, that'll give you about a 45 degree angle to your solar panel. If you go up and bolt it to these next two holes, that would give you about a 60 degree. Then if you go all the way up to the top two holes, that'd give you about a 75 degree.
You just attach it to where you need it for your application. These do detach when they're not in use.It's a custom installation. Comes with all the included hardware to install it. As I mentioned before, these mounting brackets right here is what'll mount to the panel's existing brackets at the bottom of the solar panel. Then on the spreader arms, again this bracket, using this hardware, will attach to the top of your vehicle.
This bracket to the top of your solar panel. The kit will include everything shown here on the table. It includes the four arms, the eight mounting feet, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, all the mounting hardware to install it, nice set of detail instructions. That should do it for the review on the adjustable mount kit for the Go Power Rigid Solar Panels.

Adjustable mount kit replaces your solar panel's existing brackets so you can angle the panel for maximum sun exposure. Spreader arms have 3 tilt positions. Improves solar charging output during winter months when the sun is lower in the sky.After paying a pretty penny for these, I expected perfection. These are far from it. There is only one contact point for the the mounting feet to attach to the roof rafters. Mistake number one. They shift around when I'm trying to adjust the tilting mechanism. I cant tighten them down anymore without overtightening them. They need 2 points of contact! The second issue is, mounting feet L bracket is too short. When you attach the extension pieces to the feet, there is no clearance room to the bottom of the bracket. You can't properly seal the bracket with dicor. It gets everyyyyyywhere. If it was like 1/4"-1/2" higher it would be better. Or better yet round the ends of the tilting extensions.
