User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Solar Grip
This is a well made product and comes with enough mounting accessories to satisy most applications. I recommend this product, but it DOES NOT work with the COLEMAN CL-600 Solar Charger (both are ICP Solar products) as advertised. The COLEMAN CL-600 is several inches too long for this bracket. I was able to frabicate a simlple clamp for the panel which worked so I kept the mounting bracket and it is working well.
3 Stars Agree in general with other reviews
This bracket is expensive given the quality of the bracket. However, there are several versions of clamps included which is great….if they fit your needs. Like the other reviewer says, if your application requires a bigger size, these will do you no good. The included clamps should have bigger ranges and tolerances to be more adaptable. I would buy this again, as it is simpler than building something myself.
3 Stars Sunsei Solar Grip Solar Panel Mounting Bracket #SE-SG1 (
I’m using this on my boat like advertised but am baffled by the small size of clamp included for the stern pulpit on my boat. Almost all boats have 1 inch dia. pulpits and stantions. This is 3/4″ or less. It’s useless. However I did use the other with limited success.
