Panels placed on crossbars today. Perfect fit, with room to spare for AC cover removal if need be. U-bolting frames to the crossbars next.
Pics of underside of the frame and a panel, and bracket hardware.
Today was a good day

A little delay in progress, but U-bolts fit perfectly. Solid mount to crossbars, and super easy.
I built 4.5" capped PVC footings to support the center, where the 1/4" to 1/2" droop is occurring. Weather/heat permitting, these will go on tomorrow.

Today, before the sun attacked me, I installed the center supporting PVC feet, and connected and secured the wiring. I made the PVC feet 1/4" taller than the frame height; giving a slight upward bow, rain run-off, and hold-down pressure on the feet. Now I have just the two leads ready for controller and battery connection.

On an overdue, welcomed, beautiful PNW cool and overcast day, solar is still putting out a fluctuating 68+ to touching 70 volts. Impressed
