Z-brackets are the standard hardware for flush-mounting a rigid panel to a flat or slightly curved roof — RVs, vans, sheds, and trailers all typically use this style of mount. They’re simple, inexpensive, and about as foolproof as solar mounting hardware gets, which makes them a sensible default unless you have a specific reason to angle your panels instead.
If you’re mounting a panel that didn’t come bundled with mounting hardware, or you need extras for an expanding array, a standalone set of Z-brackets gets you there without paying kit prices for hardware you already know how to install.
If you’re weighing mounting options for your panels, our roof vs. portable mounting guide can help you decide.

They’re a practical default choice unless you specifically need adjustable tilt.
