General Information
The Renogy Tilt Mount will support various mounting applications, especially in off-grid. It
is suitable for most Renogy panels and can be mounted on any flat surface. This mount is
designed to allow some adjustment of the panel’s angle for optimum performance. The
angle adjustability is dependent on the panel size, with larger panel sizes decreasing
angle adjustability.
The angles for the Renogy Tilt Mount are based off a landscape panel
installation. As the solar panel size increases, the angle freedom decreases.
5052-H32 aluminum construction
Stainless steel fasteners
High-tensile strength
Precision hole positioning and alignment
Easy, rapid assembly
Corrosion Free
Attractive brushed aluminum finish

Angle Adjustability
NOTE
The following angles are a general framework based on extension bracket
length. The minimum angle maximizes the extension bracket length while the
maximum angle minimizes the extension bracket length.

The above tools and equipment are highly recommended to have available to assist with
installation but are in no way a comprehensive list of tools that can ease installation.
Installers feel free to substitute comparable equipment where appropriate.
The equipment should be installed, adjusted, and serviced by a qualified
electrical maintenance personnel familiar with the construction and
operation of the equipment and hazards involved. Failure to observe this
precaution may result in bodily injury. Protective gloves and safety
glasses should be worn during installation.
The stripping of the threads on the nuts and bolts is possible.

Fasten L-Joint to Back of Solar Panel
The back of the L-Joints face away from the panel’s longitudinal center.
NOTE
All Cap Head Bolts must have a Spring Washer and Washer before
feeding through a hole. A washer will also need to be placed behind the
hole before the nut.

Mounting Recommendations
There are various fastening techniques, but some of the most common situations call for the
use of a lag bolt. This method is common when mounting panels onto a roof with a wood or
asphalt surface. The following is a basic approach and should be taken as such.
Use a power drill with socket extension to drill the lag bolt into the hole.4.
Drill until sufficient load is applied.5.
2.
Drill 4 holes where the holes on the L-Bracket Feet line up. A power drill with a sufficient
drill but should be utilized in this process.
1.
Find a desired mounting location
3.
After the hole has been drilled, silicone sealant needs to be administered to the hole in
order to prevent leaks.
The following information is intended to be a basic guide to give the
user a basic approach to mounting. A proper roof-mounting guide
should be consulted prior to beginning any installation.
