I got my strips from Navitron and used them to fit a solar thermal array

They look very flimsy, has the panel been through a storm yet?

I used 9 of them - and had no problems. we live opposite a open space at
the top of a hill and the wind rattles the concrete tiles regularly in
the winter and the panel (30 tubes) about 2.4 sq m has stayed put.

Maybe you are thinking of the PV panel type mountings which are
considerably thicker and made from aluminium?

No, I'm thinking of the ~6 mm thick 30mm x 70mm aluminium sections
holding my thermal panel.

It is adjustable for angle but I thought it was OTT.
