[QUOTE="Julian_S, post: 525195, member: 34874"] Thanks binky, your reply set me off on a Google search. Basically I think the solution is quite easy to get them pointing in a favourable direction and keeping them clean, which is something I hadn't considered. There's panel adjustable triangle support frames available - these are just three lengths of extruded ally angle full of drilled holes. So, if I purchase some ally angle I can make my own and custom build the length of the bottom to neatly bridge two purlins making fixing them very easy. I guess I'll stick in a cross brace at some point too, for wind. Fix onto them with the ''fast fix mounting rails'' with their bespoke mounting clamps and that's job done I think. My plan now is to fix 6 panels in 'landscape' mode, end to end to span the full length of the building. If all goes well and I upgrade in future I can simply add another row, spaced from the first row to stop them interfering with each other. Is this workable? Also, what do you think of these panels, the guys are not far from me and I think they seem good. Many thanks. [URL]https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325119545604[/URL] [/QUOTE]
