Remix of the very good model by @pdxlocs for a common 6W soshine panel. It has been changed from 45 to 30deg and holes have only been maintained on the panel side – I prefer glue up or other bonding on the bracketry side to minimize water ingress due to drilling into my electronics enclosures.

I reduced the angle to gain some south-facing efficiency and have better snow shedding in the winter.

You'll need to print one and a mirror image. I've included two STLs if that's easier, but you can easily copy and mirror an object in your slicer as well.

Note that this will require either printing on its end or using supports due to the 60degree side.

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

  • Soshine panel-side holes remain, mounting side holes are removed, as I prefer glue-up to minimize penetrations into my waterproof enclosures.
  • Angle changed from 45 degrees to 30 degrees, for better south-facing efficiency and snow-load shedding.
