| - | ==== Roofrack | + | ==== Roof Rack for Solar panels ==== |
| There are a lot of commercially available and expensive racks. For vans, they seem to be as overpriced as they get. But there are other options, some budget options without a lot of fabrication. Especially if you don't need a full surround rack but instead just need to hold some solar panels in the center. You can use steel or aluminum strut and that will give you fasteners that can side wherever you need them along the channel. Strut is durable and relatively affordable depending on the size, length and material. | There are a lot of commercially available and expensive racks.
