Looking for some #diy #solar advice. Specifically, I am looking for a bracket solution whereby I could mount solar panels on the top of each fence post around the yard. (either full size 6x3ft rectangular panels or 5x5 “half size”?

My backyard is in a state of flux, and the fence is new last fall so this is the time to do it.

The brackets would need to attach on the inward facing side of the post, or as a “cap” over the top of the post and then have a bracket that holds the panel up and far enough away to clear the fence at an angle.

The long side of our yard faces north/south so it is perfect for panels throughout the year.

We get strong southerly winds so they would need to be solid.

Suggestions appreciated. It would be great if there was something purpose built for mounting panels on fences.

It might be something I just need to have made custom (there are lots of welding shops in town) but I am not sure how to make sure that the panel itself would be able to attach to the bracket properly.

The only part of this tournament that I think has been a little unfair for Canada as a co-host is having to play outside of Canadian soil.

We should have had the advantage of home field as other hosts have before this shared hosting situation at least for the Group and Round of 32/16 games. A third city could have hosted to make it happen.

But other than that, this has been an amazing tournament and Canada has shown itself not only great hosts, but a worthy team!

Go Canada. You are heroes!
