Small PV power plants are becoming popular and inexpensive. However, mounts are quite expensive. This is a 3d printed solution which is inexpensive and fits all kind of modules. This mount can be used to hold the panels on a flat surface, like e.g. balcony, terrace, lawn, ... There are 2 different versions with 15° respectively 30° angle. Moreover, the 2 versions are available for 30, 35 and 40mm solar panels. Print 4x mounts per panel. Before printing, check which version you want to print. First measure the depth of your panel and choose the version (30/35/40mm) you need. Then decide about the angle. 15° saves space but produces less power. 30° is more efficient but takes more room. Use TPU and infill of at least 25%.
