Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
The Sunsei solar grip provides a flexible mounting option for the Sunsei SE400 solar panel or the Coleman CL300 panel. It conveniently provides both pole and deck mounting grips to avoid drilling into the roof of your vehicle or boat or into your deck or fence.

The SolarGrip rotates 360 degrees to maximize your panel's output by positioning your panel right at the sun. Use this grip with boats, RVs, farm machinery, electric fences, and more -- it will mount just about anywhere. The box includes a 7/8-inch pole/rail mount, 1 deck clamp, 1 solar panel mounting assembly, and 1 multi-angle positioning arm. It is covered by a 2-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

Agree in general with other reviews
This bracket is expensive given the quality of the bracket. However, there are several versions of clamps included which is great....if they fit your needs. Like the other reviewer says, if your application requires a bigger size, these will do you no good. The included clamps should have bigger ranges and tolerances to be more adaptable. I would buy this again, as it is simpler than building something myself.

Sunsei Solar Grip Solar Panel Mounting Bracket #SE-SG1 (
I'm using this on my boat like advertised but am baffled by the small size of clamp included for the stern pulpit on my boat. Almost all boats have 1 inch dia. pulpits and stantions. This is 3/4" or less. It's useless. However I did use the other with limited success.

Solar Grip
This is a well made product and comes with enough mounting accessories to satisy most applications. I recommend this product, but it DOES NOT work with the COLEMAN CL-600 Solar Charger (both are ICP Solar products) as advertised.

The COLEMAN CL-600 is several inches too long for this bracket. I was able to frabicate a simlple clamp for the panel which worked so I kept the mounting bracket and it is working well.
