Looking to fix my large solar panel to the roof. I've bought some Sikaflex 512 to attach it with so now looking for some suitable angle metal to make the brackets. I'm wondering if this size aluminium angle will be strong enough -
3" x 3" x 1/8" - 6082 T6 /HE30 General Engineering Grade Aluminum.
Need to be sure as the panel weighs 17kg / 37lbs so want it to stay put, thinking of cutting 1m length into 4 x 250mm brackets.
The other option is 1/4" ally but that's twice as much money - £28 for 1m compared to £15 for the 1/8".
Any thoughts on the best option or if the prices I've been quoted are reasonable?
