FAQs

Do I need to drill holes in my roof to install this?

No, this mounting is designed for bonding directly to the roof surface, eliminating the need for drilling.

What type of adhesive should I use?

You will need a high-quality, exterior-grade bonding adhesive suitable for automotive or marine applications. Consult the adhesive manufacturer's specifications for compatibility with your roof material.

Can this be used on any type of roof surface?

It is best suited for flat or slightly curved, smooth roof surfaces. Uneven or heavily textured surfaces may require additional preparation or a different mounting solution.

How many cables can pass through this mount?

This is a single cable entry mount, designed for one primary cable or a small bundle of wires.

What is the finish of this mounting?

The mounting has a modern black finish.

Is the adhesive included with the mount?

No, the bonding adhesive is not included and must be purchased separately.

How do I clean the mounting?

Clean the mounting with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Mount is not adhering securely

Ensure the roof surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Use a high-quality, compatible bonding adhesive and allow it to cure fully as per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions. Re-application may be necessary if surface prep was inadequate.

Water ingress around the cable entry

Check that the cable is sealed correctly within the entry point. Apply a suitable exterior-grade sealant around the cable and the entry point if necessary to ensure a watertight seal.

Cable does not fit through the entry point

Verify the cable diameter is appropriate for the entry port. If the cable is slightly too large, carefully trim any excess insulation or conduit that may be hindering the fit, ensuring the cable's integrity is maintained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the roof surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or debris. Proper surface preparation is crucial for adhesion.
  2. Apply a high-quality, exterior-grade bonding adhesive (sold separately) to the underside of the mounting base.
  3. Position the mount at the desired location on the roof, ensuring adequate space for cable routing.
  4. Press firmly and allow the adhesive to cure according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  5. Route the solar panel cable(s) through the single entry point and seal any gaps around the cable entry if necessary for extra weatherproofing.

Compatibility:

This mount is designed for use with standard solar panels and is compatible with most flat or slightly curved roof surfaces found on motorhomes, caravans, lorries, buses, and boats. It is not designed for use on corrugated or uneven surfaces without additional adaptation.

Care:

Periodically inspect the mounting for any signs of adhesive failure. Clean the exterior of the mount with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or the adhesive bond.
