Any simple portable solar panel stand/bracket ideas?

You may have to add to that HF holder, it is intended for a 15w panel.

You need a polar mount from a C-Band satellite dish to track the sun's arc.
I built my own, starting w/ an old swivel caster wheel, adapted it to a liteweight angle iron frame that holds 2 100 watt panels. The base is mounted on my trailer hitch receiver. If I wanted a ground base, I'd bolt it to a 4ft pc of 2 x 12, and drive up on top of it

westend that may be the answer for now. It will at least get me started as I have a huting trip January 9th and will be my first use for the solar. I can always improve upon it if needed and there is a Harbor Freight 3 miles from my house, hopefully they have that item in the store. Never would have thought to look there.

If this Harbor Freight is big enough, I know I couldn't make it for the price. Maybe give you some ideas, anyway.

You can make a floppy or a twirler. Both are shown here. If you want to make it easy, just use a dolly as was suggested earlier. It can twirl on its wheels and be propped up at different angles to suit the sun's altitude.

First I used the wooden tray on the roof for the single panel. It lies flat for travelling strapped to the cargo railing at the back of the roof, then on arrival I prop it up pointing South with a little stand I made or just against the air conditioner shroud.

BTW this coming summer 2014, I will have my 230w 24v panel in the contraption on the ground instead of the two 100s shown there, and will still have the 130w on the roof as shown.

I use two pine slats and a pair of c-clamps. Infinitely adjustable, cheap and simple.

I was looking for something to prop it up so I can track the sun. Maybe something made with aluminum angle and some folding legs. I'm sure I can figure something out but why reinvent the wheel when I am sure someone else has some ideas and what not to do as well. I won't have a ladder or handtruck when hunting, the toy hauler is heavy enough as it is.

The white backing of the panel is fragile for solar cells like the blue front is, so don't prop it up against the white backing.

You need to use the frame for propping. I found it necessary to put a board across the frame at the back bolted on, and then prop it so the cross-board takes the weight. Also the board makes a good tie down place if you use bungees while propped.

I just lay the panel on a picnic table, on the roof, or on the ground. You can prop it against a tree or something to orient it toward the sun.
If you want to make a stand a step ladder or a hand truck can be a good starting point.
