I needed a ground mount for my latest solar project, but the commercial options were costing almost as much as the solar panels themselves.
So instead, I headed to B&Q, picked up some CLS timber, and built my own.
In this video I’ll show you how I designed it, the mistakes I made, what it cost, and the finished result.
This mount is designed to hold two JA Solar 460W panels which will be connected to an EcoFlow STREAM microinverter in a future video.
💬 Would you build your own solar panel mount or buy a commercial system?
