From there we\u2019re fabricating a heavy-duty adjustable mounting system using aluminum track, oversized galvanized saddle bolts, and custom-cut radiuses so everything fits the pole properly.<br \/>The goal is to build something that is:<br \/>\u2022 Extremely strong<br \/>\u2022 Fully adjustable for solar angle<br \/>\u2022 Clean and professional looking<br \/>\u2022 Built to last for decades<br \/>In this first episode we machine the mounting channel to match the radius of the pipe, drill the saddle bolt holes using the magnetic drill, and create the foundation that will allow the entire solar mount to rotate and be adjusted for the best sun exposure.<br \/>This is the start of a new solar build series. In the upcoming videos we\u2019ll set the pole in concrete, finish the adjustable mounting system, and install the panels that will power the shop.<br \/>May God bless you and your families.
