Choosing and fitting the Solar Spike Speed Clip
This clip holds the SolarGuard adjustable spike system to the side of the panel frame, as an alternative to bonding the spikes with adhesive. It is for panels without the traditional lip on the underside, and there is no drilling into the frame. It is a different clip from the Solar Mesh Speed Clip, which holds solar mesh rather than spikes.
