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.
Don't remember such a warning in my panels by REC of Norway. I took my time when choosing brand and frame profile. Some frames are weaker than others.
Besides, after inserting a stainless rivet nut into the panel side, I think this spot is now "at least" as strong as the aluminum profile before.
When panel is installed flat (=tilted 3-5 degrees for water drainage), and sitting low on aluminum brackets a few inches from the roof, there isn't much wind stress on it. Of course you can break anything. Once or twice I almost sat/fell on the panel when walking around, tidying up the wires etc. It's better not to walk up there too often.
