Guy's I'll be making my own clamp setup for both arrays out of that 40x6mm ali flat bar and using gal bolts NOT S.S.
Just some 50mm long with a hole in the centre for the bolt for between the panels and for the threaded part in the slot I'll go double thickness so 12mm of holding force and I do have some decent anti seize here to use. Now for end of the panels I'll bend the flat bar 90 degrees to make the clamp.
There is no real space on the ground here so my plan is to basically fill the northern side roof of the house as we do have our own gumtree forest here and the house is high enough to overcome them for the early morning sun.
