General Information
The Renogy Tilt Mount will support various mounting applications, especially in off-grid. It is suitable for most Renogy panels and can be mounted on any flat surface. This mount is designed to allow some adjustment of the panel’s angle for optimum performance. The angle adjustability is dependent on the panel size, with larger panel sizes decreasing angle adjustability.
Key Features
- 5052-H32 aluminum construction
- Stainless steel fasteners
- High-tensile strength
- Precision hole positioning and alignment
- Easy, rapid assembly
- Corrosion Free
- Attractive brushed aluminum finish
Angle Adjustability
The angles for the Renogy Tilt Mount are based off a landscape panel installation. As the solar panel size increases, the angle freedom decreases.
The following angles are a general framework based on extension bracket length. The minimum angle maximizes the extension bracket length while the maximum angle minimizes the extension bracket length.

Installation
The equipment should be installed, adjusted, and serviced by a qualified electrical maintenance personnel familiar with the construction and operation of the equipment and hazards involved. Failure to observe this precaution may result in bodily injury. Protective gloves and safety glasses should be worn during installation.
The stripping of the threads on the nuts and bolts is possible.
Recommended Tools (Not provided)
- Socket wrench
- Torque extension
- High-tensile strength
- 18mm wrench or socket for larger hex nut
- 13mm wrench or socket for smaller hex nut
- Box-Leveler
- Tape Measure
The above tools and equipment are highly recommended to have available to
assist with installation but are in no way a comprehensive list of tools that
can ease installation.
Installers feel free to substitute comparable equipment where appropriate.
Fasten L-Joint to Back of Solar Panel
All Cap Head Bolts must have a Spring Washer and Washer before feeding through a hole. A washer will also need to be placed behind the hole before the nut.
The back of the L-Joints face away from the panel’s longitudinal center.
Attach L-Joint to L-Bracket Foot
The mounting angle demonstrated in the image is to serve as a guide for users and their individual assemblies.
Attach Extension Bracket to L-Joint
Attach L-Bracket Foot to Extension Bracket
The mounting angle of the Extension bracket relative to the L-Joint can change based on user needs.
Mounting Recommendations
The following information is intended to be a basic guide to give the user a basic approach to mounting. A proper roof-mounting guide should be consulted prior to beginning any installation.
There are various fastening techniques, but some of the most common situations call for the use of a lag bolt. This method is common when mounting panels onto a roof with a wood or asphalt surface. The following is a basic approach and should be taken as such.
- Find a desired mounting location
- Drill 4 holes where the holes on the L-Bracket Feet line up. A power drill with a sufficient drill but should be utilized in this process.
- After the hole has been drilled, silicone sealant needs to be administered to the hole in order to prevent leaks.
- Use a power drill with socket extension to drill the lag bolt into the hole.
- Drill until sufficient load is applied.
