This model was originally built using Sketchup 13 and then converted into all other 3D formats, where it remains as native format .skp The scene in 3ds Max 2016 version has been rendered with Vray 3.00 This precision-crafted machined Aluminum Z-type or zee bracket mount replicates real-world usage perfectly, for mounting solar electric panels on walls or roofs Each panel up to 3' x 6' in size requires a minimum of four brackets, two on each long side of the panel, with the panel facing inward and roof-facing outward to allow easy tool access. By using these brackets, you avoid expensive heavy sliding rail-type rack mount setups completely In documentation and real practice, place brackets as follows: at either 20-30% or 70-80% along the bottom edge of a flat panel back on both long sides Alternate long sides with two pairs of opposed brackets placed in these strategic locations Place brackets at points not too close to panel ends, where weight could cause sag and bending stress Too far from center would make panels unsecure in windy conditions One ideal position for brackets is 25-75% across the bottom edge of each side Bracket attachments begin on individual panel frames before being secured as assembled units to walls or roofs Use lock washers with screws and bolts in both holes, adding sun-resistant silicone or butyle rubber pads under roof mounts for a water-tight installation
