What a mounting kit does for a Quick Fix panel
A solar panel only produces energy if it is properly held, oriented and sheltered from the wind. This SUNBEAMsystem mounting kit addresses that need for the Carbon 116 W Quick Fix panel named in its designation. The name LOXX suggests a snap-type fixing system: the idea is to hold the panel in place while letting you remove it quickly when it is no longer needed. The data we have is limited to the brand, so the rest of this sheet stays deliberately general.
What is it used for?
Panels of this type are often paired with light supports, where drilling is awkward or unwelcome. Depending on your project, this kit can find its place in several cases.
- Equipping a leisure vehicle, a trailer or a boat, after checking the support.
- Fitting on the roof of a shelter, a garden cabin or a veranda.
- Seasonal installation taken down at the end of the year.
What is known, and what is not
We know the brand and the purpose of the kit. We do not know its exact make-up, its weight or the surfaces it is intended for. Do not assume it suits every roof or covering: ask yourself whether your support is smooth, clean and able to take the fixing the manufacturer indicates.
Before choosing
Compare the designation of the panel you own with the one in the kit’s title. If they differ, consult the manufacturer’s documentation rather than forcing a fixing.
Fitting advice
- Lay the panel flat in the shade to mark where the fixings go.
- Clean the support with a mild product and let it dry completely.
- Respect any temperatures and setting times given in the instructions.
- Position the fixing elements without forcing them, then attach the panel.
- Route the cable without tension or tight folds.
If the panel is to be linked to a charge controller or a battery, have a qualified professional validate the wiring.

Safety
No wind load or maximum weight is given. On a moving vehicle, an inadequate fixing can let the panel lift off: check the attachment before every departure. Do not walk on a panel, do not bend it beyond what its instructions allow and keep connectors out of standing water. Switch off the circuit before any electrical handling.
Care and storage
Regularly remove dust and leaves that slip under the panel, then check the state of the fixing elements. Store the complete kit in a dry place, away from strong heat, with the panel laid flat or rolled according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Before each new season, test the whole assembly once on the ground: attach, tug lightly on every corner and detach again, so that any worn element is noticed before the panel is exposed to wind.
