Purpose

• Our job is to come up with an effective way to
  mount the solar panels on the roof.
• The design includes tilting the solar panels
  according to the suns position so optimum energy
  can be produced.

Design

• The design includes grouping the solar panels by
  using a rack.
• The rack will hold four panels, so three racks
  will be needed.

Design cont.

• The rack will include two 120 inch rails, four
  tilt able legs, mounting clips, fasteners, and
  six L-shaped feet to attach the rack to the roof.
