Solar Panel Corner Bumper Protector

I created this to protect the corners of HQST 100 watt solar panels (30mm thick) and provide spacing between the panels.

The panel frame dimensions used for designing these bumpers are 7mm x 30mm x 25mm (small front side of panel, side of panel, larger back side of panel).

There is a slightly raised bump on the inside to help lock the bumper in place that fits into the larger square hole on the backside of the frame in each corner.

The specifications were very precise, so you might want to do a test print and upsize as required depending on how dialed in your printer is.

Infill: 20%
Layer Height: .20mm
Material: Inland PLA+

Printed on an AnkerMake M5. 16x bumpers took 8.5 hours.

HQST Solar Panel 4pcs 100 Watt 12V Monocrystalline

Designed in SolveSpace.

Added 2 variations with mounting tabs and 5mm holes for mounting purposes.

I also created purpose built mounting brackets to mount the same solar panels to 1 inch (26mm) square tubing. LINK
