Secure Your Solar Panels with Exotronic ABS Plastic Corner and Mid Brackets

Engineered for Vehicle-Mounted Solar Installations

When mounting rigid solar panels on caravans, RVs, or marine vessels, the quality of your brackets directly impacts long-term reliability. The Exotronic Black Solar Panel ABS Plastic Corner plus Mid Brackets are purpose-built to provide a robust, aerodynamic, and stress-minimised mounting solution. Unlike generic aluminium or steel brackets that can introduce galvanic corrosion or sharp edges, these high-strength ABS plastic brackets offer a lightweight, UV-resistant, and non-conductive alternative, reducing the risk of electrical faults and material degradation over time.

Designed to comply with the Australian and New Zealand standard AS5033, this kit ensures your solar installation meets stringent safety requirements for mobile applications. The dual-fixing methodcombining structural adhesive with mechanical fastenersdistributes loads evenly, minimising point stresses on the panel frame and roof surface. This approach is particularly critical for vehicles subjected to vibration, wind uplift, and emergency braking forces.

Key Features

• High-strength ABS construction resists UV exposure, impact, and corrosion, outperforming metal brackets in coastal and humid environments
• Aerodynamic curved profile reduces wind drag and noise, improving fuel efficiency and driving comfort
• Complete 6-piece kit includes 4 corner brackets and 2 mid brackets, providing full perimeter support for panels up to large residential sizes
• AS5033-compliant dual fixing adhesive and screw installation minimises stress concentrations and prevents panel micro-cracking
• Stainless steel self-tapping screws included corrosion-resistant fasteners for long-term durability
• Versatile mounting suitable for glass or rigid solar panels on flat or slightly curved vehicle roofs

Why Choose ABS Plastic Brackets?

Traditional metal brackets can create thermal bridges, accelerate corrosion, and require additional insulation to prevent galvanic reactions. Our ABS plastic brackets eliminate these concerns. The material is inherently non-conductive, so there is no risk of short circuits if wiring insulation is compromised. Additionally, ABS absorbs vibration better than aluminium, reducing fatigue on both the panel and the mounting surface. For installers and DIY enthusiasts, the lightweight nature simplifies handling and alignment during installation.

Installation Best Practices

For optimal performance, clean all bonding surfaces thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol before applying a high-quality MS polymer adhesive such as Fix15 or marine-grade Sikaflex. The adhesive fills any surface irregularities and creates a flexible, waterproof bond that accommodates thermal expansion. Drill clearance holes in the brackets, fill with adhesive, and drive the provided tek screws, maintaining a small gap for the adhesive to cure fully. This method meets AS5033 requirements and significantly reduces stress on the panel frame.

Note: Roof surfaces may require reinforcement or alternative fasteners such as toggle screws to achieve the required pull-out strength per AS5033.

Applications

• Caravan and RV solar panel mounting
• Marine and boat solar installations
• Camper trailers and motorhomes
• Off-grid cabins and tiny homes with metal roofing
• Commercial vehicle solar setups

Whether you are upgrading an existing system or installing new solar panels, the Exotronic ABS Plastic Corner and Mid Brackets provide a reliable, compliant, and long-lasting mounting solution. Their black finish integrates seamlessly with most panel frames, maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
