Mounting Hardware
A solar mounting system provides a durable foundation for solar energy on RV roofs. Get ready to solar power your next adventure with our wide variety of mounting brackets, adapters, tilt bars, and more for any roof type.
Z-Bigfoot and Rocker Mount Sets
Mounting L-Feet with Tape
T-Knobs and Mount Adapters
Tilt Bar Sets
Sealant and Tape
Pole & Shingle Mount Sets
Please note: When installing a solar array yourself, please make sure to follow our instructions to the T. Additionally, because your rig is an "earthquake on wheels" dealing with high winds, we advise you to re-tighten any T-knobs before traveling. You can also contact the AM Solar team for an easy installation solution.
Z-Bigfoot and Rocker Mount Sets: Mount Adapters, T-knobs, L-feet, Tape
Each of these kits contains all the hardware needed to attach a solar panel to a flat surface. The "Z" Bigfoot Mounts are fixed and the Rocker Mounts can have a tilt angle. When using Rocker Foot Mounts, be sure to select that size that matches the thickness of your solar panel frame. No solar panel installation done by AM Solar has ever flown off.
This z brackets mount set is designed for use with our AMS Essential kits or any solar panel with mounting holes in the frame. This mount set will not allow tilting. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
For use with 35mm (1.38") frame solar panels. Made from corrosion resistant stainless steel.
For use with 40mm (1.57") frames like our GO160 solar panels. Made from corrosion resistant stainless steel.
This mount set is designed for use with our AMS Essential kits or Zamp Solar panels. This mount set will not allow tilting. Made of corrosion resistant stainless steel.
For use with the 35mm (1.38") frame of Zamp Legacy solar panels. Made of corrosion resistant stainless steel.
For use with Zamp Obsidian 90W and 100W solar panels.
Low profile mounts are ideal for Zamp Obsidian 90W panels, as well as for mounting 90W and 100W panels on vans and RVs with flat roofs.
Stabilized mounts are only for Zamp Obsidian 100W panels and are ideal for mounting these panels on curved roofs like Airstreams.
Mounting L-Feet with Tape
L-Feet are what attach to the roof and connect to the mount adapters on the Rocker Foot mount sets. L-Feet come in a variety of sizes to give flexibility in mount height. All L-Feet come with VHB tape already attached.
Elevates solar panels 1-1/8”, 1-1/2” or 1-7/8” above roof surface. Solar panels require at least four L feet. L feet can be used two to a corner to double surface contact area and improve mount strength. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The base of the L feet is 2.5” x 1”.
Elevates solar modules 1-1/8”, 1-1/2”, 1-7/8, 2-1/4”, or 2-5/8” above roof surface. Solar panels require at least four L feet. L feet can be used two to a corner to double surface contact area and improve mount strength. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The base of the L feet is 2.5” x 1”.
Elevates solar panels 3”, 3-3/8” or 3-3/4” above roof surface. Solar panels require at least four L feet. L feet can be used two to a corner to double surface contact area and improve mount strength. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. The base of the L feet is 2.5” x 1”.
T-Knobs and Mount Adapters
Attaches to solar modules with 35mm (1.38”) or 40mm (1.57”) thick frames. Extends 1-1/4” Beyond the frame of the short edge of the solar panel. Designed to be used in conjunction with L-feet. Compatible with tilt bars. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel.
T-knobs may be used to on our Rocker Foot Mount Sets to allow for tilting or easy removal for cleaning and repairs.
For any setups using t-knobs, we recommend frequent checks to tighten the knobs as they may loosen in transit.
Sold in packs of 4 or individually.
This hardware kit includes the special bolts and retainers needed to interface with Zamp panel frames for attaching them to AM Solar Mount kits. For use with Zamp Solar USA built Omni-rail panels only
If solar panel theft is a concern, this keyed security bolt can be a T-Knob alternative. Sold singly.
Tilt Bar Sets
Tilt bars work with the Rocker Foot mount sets to hold panels at a 45-degree angle. The 15.5" sets should be used on panels with a short edge length of around 21". The 19.5" sets should be used on panels with a short edge length of around 26". The tilting panels are manual, which means climbing on a roof. Panels must be returned to level before driving.
For tilting panels approximately 12-14” wide at roughly a 45-degree angle to increase output in the winter months. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Recommended for the 90W Long panel.
This item includes 2pc T-Knobs for install. For Extra T-Knobs please see our listing here.
For tilting panels approximately 19-25” wide at roughly a 45-degree angle to increase output in the winter months. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Not recommended for the 90W Long panel.
This item includes 2pc T-Knobs for install. For Extra T-Knobs please see our listing here.
For tilting the ZS170 solar panel at a 45 degree angle for increased output in the winter months. Made from corrosion resistant stainless steel.
This item includes 2pc T-Knobs for install. For Extra T-Knobs please see our listing here.
Sealant and Tape
VHB tape is used to hold down mount sets and combiner boxes. Sealant is used to protect the tape from the elements so it doesn't degrade and lose adhesion over time. Dicor is self-leveling but not used as an adhesive. SikaFlex is harder to work with, but has additional bonding capabilities. One tube of sealant is sufficient for two panels and one combiner box. Installations larger than seven panels should use three tubes.
Dicor protects the VHB tape from the elements. Use it to seal around mount feet, cable management hardware and combiner boxes attached to roofs.
Ideal for Airstream roofs, Teroson protects the VHB tape from the elements and is UV rated. Use it to seal around mount feet, cable management hardware, and combiner boxes attached to roofs. Do not use Teroson on TPO roofs.
3M VHB tape is used to secure mounting feet and combiner boxes to fiberglass or metal roofs (not rubber). Cut each 5" strip in half for each of four mounting feet per panel.
Pole & Shingle Mount Set
The pole mount kit is ideal for fixed installations like gate openers, electric fences or security systems.
This kit includes everything needed to mount four 180W solar panels in portrait orientation on an asphalt shingle roof.
