WANTED - AM Solar Rocker Mounts

[Centex]

Given that AM Solar has apparently closed, I'm on the lookout for a set of four AM Solar brand Rocker Mounts for 35mm frame-thickness solar panels.

The 35mm panel clips themselves are the critical part.

If anyone happens to have or run-across a listing for such, I'd appreciate a heads-up by reply here or PM.

This request will remain open until filled; the need is not an immediate 'emergency' (I've got them on four panels, may want to add a 5th at some point in the future).

Thanks!

Hi, Centex. I don’t know if this answers your call, but I did some searching and found the following. I sincerely hope it helps you.

Thanks very much!

I'd obviously not found that hit with my own search though I had found several other vendors showing 'out of stock'.

Order placed and automated confirmation received, but it's Saturday so keeping fingers crossed that they actually have it in their inventory and are able to deliver.

I'll follow-up here when that happens.

You are welcome. I’m very happy to help a member who has helped so many here. I hope they deliver. Cheers!

Thanks YakRV, I bought another set in case I decide to add another panel.

Our three 200 watt panels are mounted on our Bigfoot with these mounts. I will probably never use them to tilt the panels for improved harvest, but they are great for cleaning the roof.

Wonder what's going to happen to their inventory?

Thanks,

Perry

Same here, I don't have the optional 'T-knobs' to facilitate tool-less tilting.

I bought "T" knobs and don't have to carry a wrench to deploy. I also bought two sets of bars to hold the panels at an angle.

I haven't washed my panels since they were installed (June, 2023). I just put one side of the panel in the lower holes and the other side in the upper holes for the water to run off. Two panels angle the water to the drivers side and the third to the passenger (entry door) side.

I'm in the process of cleaning and then applying Zep Polish to our camper. The panels are in the angled position to make cleaning and waxing the roof much easier. I have my SIL's scaffold with outriggers to make the job much easier.

Food for thought,

Perry

I spoke briefly with a person at Reparadise this morning who was in the warehouse and says they have a number of these in stock, so expects to fill my order today (hoping the same for Perry). He acknowledged the demise of AM solar and does not expect to receive more.

So, I'm optimistic, will confirm upon receipt.

Mounts received from Reparadise, in AM Solar packaging, all great.

Thanks again 'Yak'
