Engineering-led solar reviews

Solar panels built for mobile & manufactured homes

Manufactured roofs carry as little as 10–15 psf of dead load — a fraction of a site-built home. We rank 50+ panels and kits by what actually fits, from drill-free CIGS thin-film to ground-mount rigid arrays.

New to mobile-home solar? Start with the roof.

Unlike a standard house, a manufactured home's roof is engineered for transport, not heavy permanent loads. That single fact drives every recommendation here. Our buyer's guide covers HUD roof-load zones, point-load risk, sizing math, and permitting before you spend a dollar.

DIY Solar Kits (26)

Complete off-grid and grid-tie packages — panels plus charge controllers, and sometimes inverters and batteries.

Flexible & CIGS Panels (7)

Lightweight thin-film and semi-flexible panels that distribute weight evenly — the safest class for manufactured-home roofs.

Rigid Solar Panels (17)

Glass-and-aluminum modules best suited to ground mounts, carports, and accessory structures.

Why trust MobilePanels.shop?

We focus exclusively on the structural and electrical realities of manufactured and mobile homes — HUD Code roofs, psf load budgets, and NEC/HCD permitting — not generic residential solar. Every panel is assessed for how it fits a lightweight roof, not just its wattage. Read our methodology →
