Mounting solar panels on fiberglass roof

I think I am going to mount some aluminum UNISTRUT type cross sections attached to the side of the trailer just below the roof. I have mounted things in this area already and has proven to be very strong etc. Nothing will touch the roof area. All of the cabling etc will follow the unistrut to a electrical mounting box on the side of the trailer and go thru the wall at that point.

In my case the VALANCE CURTAINs that go around my whole POPUP interior will hide all of my cabling that will be inside wire management units (LOWES)

My unistrut going across the roof will allow me to use quick disconnect hinges so I can remove the panels to place on the ground if needed to stay in the high sun...

Haven't got it all on any paper yet but think this is going to the best way for me to mount my three or four 120WATT size SOLAR panels on my POPUP ROOF.

Mounting the solar panels on top of the unistrut will have a couple of inches between the panels and the roof surface.

The unistrut mounting nuts will slide the whole width of the roof making for a great and secure install.

Great idea! With unistruts you'll be easily able to install a tilt arm/s, also, should you decide tilting is in your best interests. I also led the solar module wiring through the wall. I used conventional plastic EMT which allowed an easy scheme for mounting a J box on the top.
