    I like the versatility of the Unistrut and thought about using that in my van build as well. But I opted for a roof rack because I'm staying away from drilling any holes in my roof. That's where your Unistrut setup is sweet - great job! I have a Chevy Express, so there are other variables inside and out to work with. I have a Renogy 200-watt panel on my roof, but the only way I can add one additional panel is to remove a small cargo basket next to my existing panel. That may be an option like you did just to keep my batteries supplied! Nice clean job!

    Looks like a great job on the solar set up! I especially like the Unistrut/ Superstrut pieces. Definitely gives me ideas for solar on my truck shell.

      Thank you! We ended up purchasing brackets from DIYvan and they have been well worth it! Others have used 2x2 square aluminum or pivot joint mounts. On Transits, there’s a 5° slope that you have to deal with to keep everything square. We have a full video on the roof rack on our channel if you’d like to check it out!
