3D-Printable Solar Panel Roof Mounts
Designed for flat installations, these corner pieces provide a stable and secure way to attach USB solar panels to your roof. Each set includes four identical mounts optimized for strength and durability, ensuring your panels remain firmly in place while maximizing sun exposure.
I recommend PETG for better temperature resistance and to avoid warping when exposed to sunlight. My mounts have been printed with PETG Material on the "strength setting" in the Slicer.
The solar panels I’m using offer USB-C and Micro USB connections and are rated IP65 waterproof. They’re an excellent deal and keep my cameras charged continuously, even on cloudy days—no need to recharge the cameras or run long wires to them! The solar panel is pretty long in case you need it far away from the camera. I wrapped mine up since the cams are close to the panels.
Let me know how you like the design!
