Are all the aluminum pieces C Channel? I couldn't tell how the pieces propping the tilt mount rack up were bolted to the other pieces... Can you list the parts used?

Great idea. I have been reading/yt on racks for some time trying to get ideas on what others are doing. The problems I have come across frequently is corrosion with dissimilar metals, alum/galv. This can be a problem depending on your grounding techniques. Yours is by far this best diy mount I have seen so far.

You should use that same stuff so you can adjust the angle for winter / summer. Check out the vids on my channel for mounting ideas.

Dave,

Did you buy your clamps or make them.

[davevanden1]

@mpcjax

hey there for the clamps I used some of the angle from the frames of the panels just cut off a slice then drilled a hole in the top and it pulls down nice
