We're in the process of installing RICH SOLAR M200D solar panels on our Solitude 380FL and after much research we decided to go with RICH SOLAR 28" RV Tilt Mounts because they made the most sense for what we wanted. The only obstacle we've hit is trying to install these straight-edge brackets on the rounded roof. As you can see in the photos, there is about 1/4 inch lift on the left side because of the curve in the roof. We are planning to mount the brackets with 6-8 screws starting from the right side and moving left until the point where my finger is in the photo, leaving the remainder of the bracket alone to avoid any "pull" in the roof.
Aside from not being aesthetically pleasing, is there any reason this WON'T work? Our thought is that the mounts and panels will still be secure and will not sit any higher than the equipment that is already up there (AC units, vents, etc). Your input about why this mounting solution will not work is appreciated. Just want to make sure we aren't thinking too simply about this.
