If you’re curious about using aluminum extrusion for your roof rack or mounting your panels, you can check out 80/20 to see if they have any sizes that might suit your needs.

If you need to add some extensions to the wires coming off your panels, you’ll need some extra wire along with some MC4 connectors.
