Z bracket panel mount question
Using the Renogy Z brackets, how difficult is it to remove the panels should the need arise? Can you get a wrench under the panels to remove the nuts and bolts? Renogy roof mounbts

Some (all?) panel instructions say never drill more holes in the frame or it will weaken the frame.
So if you go the side route, you need more holes. If you line up the bottom holes with the roof struts and you can't, you need new holes.
You can beat all that by having the roof attachments (rails, eg) to the struts and then you can space the existing holes in the panel to anywhere along the rails.
That still leaves how to get the panel off the rails without so much trouble. Depending on your set-up, you can use the two-bracket method or leave the bracket on the panel and undo from the rails
Which saves you from ripping up the Dicored roof attachment the other way with Z brackets.)
"It depends" (as usual).
