I was just looking at a Unirac mounting kit for 4 of these panels..
168" UniRac SolarMount Rail Kit

And at $240.99, they cost more than the four PV panels!!

So, now I'm thinking about building a PVC pipe frame to mount the panels on..
A PVC pipe frame with steel angle irons across the middle, bolted to the center section of the old Dish.

Just have to get rid of the mesh and curved arms.

Currently, the dish is setup for elevation only.
