Adjustable Solar Panel Mount w/ Control Box Mount
Description
For This Project I Needed To Make An Adjustable Mount For Our Solar Panel In Order To Easily Change The Angle Of The Panel In Relation To The Sun. I Used This Ipad Mount From Amazon.

Then I Cut 4 Holes To Put Printable Rivets Into The Holes To Secure The Panel To The Backing. Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:79580 I Then Added Clips In Each Corner To Hold The Panel Even More Securely To The Backing. Finally, I Added The Flexible Ipad Stand To The Backing Using The Mount Provided Above. The Last Piece I Needed Was A Way To Mount The Solar Panel Control Box To Our Outdoor Coleman 13 X 13 Canopy. I Added Three Neodymium Magnets To The Inside Of The Control Box Mount. These Three Magnets Held The Control Box Tightly Again The Canopy For 4 Complete Days Without Budging. I Highly Recommend This Solar Charger As Well. We Used The Panel And A 12V Marine Deep Cycle Battery To Run 3- 12 Inch Fans While Charging 2 Iphones For 4 Days In A Row. The Battery Never Lost Its Charge.
