Mount the Tapo Solar Panel A200 on Siding Without Drilling the Siding
This mount combines two matching siding clips in your selected profile with a round mounting adapter plate designed for the Tapo Solar Panel A200.
🌟 Why Choose This Mount?
- No holes in the siding: The clips install at the siding joint instead of fastening through the siding.
- Two-clip support: Two clips distribute support across the solar-panel adapter plate.
- Panel-specific adapter: The round plate accepts the confirmed Tapo A200 mounting hardware.
- Three siding profiles: Select Dutch Lap vinyl, Traditional vinyl, or Plank based on the cross-section images.
- Positionable: Insert the clips where the siding flexes more easily, then slide the assembly toward a stud for improved support.
☀️ Solar Panel Compatibility
- Tapo Solar Panel A200 (USB-C)
Solar panel and original Tapo mounting hardware are not included.
🏠 Choose Your Siding Profile
- Dutch Lap Vinyl: For the Dutch Lap profile shown in the listing images.
- Traditional Vinyl: For the Traditional profile shown in the listing images.
- Plank: For the plank or fiber-cement profile shown in the listing images. These clips are longer than the vinyl versions.
Compare your siding's cross-section with the listing images before ordering. The three clip profiles are shaped differently and are not interchangeable.

Not quite right.
The hook to attach to dutch lap siding is a little short and hard to attach. I’m not sure it will. The screws provided are not long enough to attach to camera. The bracket on the bottom of the camera is kinda hollow where the **** goes, so the **** doesn’t even reach the threads to attach. I had high hopes for these brackets.
Hi Regina, thank you for sharing your feedback and photos! Looking at your image, it appears the countersunk screw is oriented upside down. The screw should go through the camera baseplate first to secure it flush against the mount.
Regarding the siding fit, our clips are specifically designed and tested for standard PlyGem Dutch Lap vinyl siding profiles, which can vary across other manufacturers. Please give flipping the screw a try.
