rc1 pv panel frame - 2022-10-30
38 x 63 mm treated CLS frame
48 x 73 mm treated CLS supports
frame bolted to supports, supports bolted to supports. this design will allow tilting the frame should spring come round again.
- SS M8 bolt, 100 mm
- SS M8 washers, one after bolt, one between support members, one before nyloc nut
- SS M8 nyloc nuts.
i isolated the panels before working and reconnected them again after completing the rc1 frame.
the horizontal support will need reworking to be able to tilt to lower angles. i did not have the time to fully implement this design feature for this iteration. a few months to go before i will need to change the tilt so i have time to fix this.
