This is an adapter for the Harbor Breeze Solar node concept that will mount it to a 15mm railing as seen in the picture. Allows the mounting of the node from this project to a railing.
I printed mine in PETG.
- You will need some M2x12mm screws to sandwich the mount around the railing you intend to mount.
- Remove the original light and mount this bracket in it's place using the original screw.
- Orient the panel to get best sun coverage and tighten up the screw.

Also including an antenna standoff that allows you to mount your antenna straight up and down without needing the 90degree bend…this should improve your antenna performance.
- You will need to drill some holes and screw the mount to the enclosure (or I supposed you could glue it as well).
- Drill the hole for the antenna wire and route the wire through (make it just big enough for the IPEX connect to fit through)
- Mount the end of the antenna cable to the mount.
- Plug up the hole inside and out with some silicone
- Screw in your antenna and join the mesh!
