how to mount solar panel

So I have a 1991 slumber queen with an alumium roof and I am putting a 325 watt panel on it, but the mounting feet wont line up with the rafters. whats the best way to fastent it?

I was thinking of using oak strips to span the rafters and then screw the mounting feet to them, any ideas?

  • I bought aluminum angle iron. 6 ft piece and cut into 3-4 inch pieces. Bolted to panels then screwed panels into the roof. I applied a healthy amount of dicor sealant under the mounts then on top once screwed in. Works perfectly no leaks. Im not interested in adjusting panels so they are hard mounted.
  • If you have at least 6 mounting feet, then 3M #4950 doublesided tape would work well, as long as you cleaned that aluminum roof contact points properly.
