Working on your idee Drazen I come up with this my self. The idee of having the housing on top of the roof peaks. I like that, removes the problem with the water that runs down the channels.
Simpel concept, box in a box. The outer shel (the blue one) that has the solarpanel works as waterproofing for the green box that house the batteries and maybe the small circuits that runs the leds.
The cut outs for the screws onto the roof on the green box is there so you can fit it to all roofs. You dont need a specific distans between peaks.
All you need is 6 screw, 6 nuts and maybe 4 washers.
The green house can easly be modifid to fit more bateries and or more electronics. If you need more or longer power to run the led.
The cables can run throuh the small cut outs on the green box and under the ledge of the blue box. To be connected to the bottle.
*Update with two small renders.
Made a small cut out under the solarpanel for some wires, this grove can go the entire length of the blue box if needed.
Also showing the cabels going through the green box and coming out the other side for connection to the bottle/leds.
Btw the last rendering is something that is not within the file. If you want it with the groove, just ask and I will upload it.
This is more just to have a place to put up idees...

Hey! Glad to see that I inspired you to do this :))
This is really nice. This my first desing except that part of adaptable position of screws on the housing. This is were I decided to do as I did cause you need hole for wires from solar panel to the batteries and that hole makes it non waterproof. I guess wires could go outside and then back in through that green semicircle hole...
But I love the part with movable screws... I'll put something like that in my next model. Maybe just cut a long rectangular hole in that flange and put both screws in it. This is what I'm talking about. We don't even know each other and I inspire you, you inspire me... Just love engineering...
"The best idees is forge in the fire of criticism".
So we just see a model, use it, improvit and post. And repeat! Here is where the best idees comes forth!
Yeah, I added a pic that shows a cross section. Where you can see where the cabel can go. I thought about that to, where the cabel was connented to the solarpanel.
Do that! I wanna see it!! =)
Is it enough with maybe just two screw? Or is it needed to have 4 to attach it to the roof?
When I made this two boxes, I keept in mind how to make them with injection molding. Witch i think is cheaper the 3D printing, maybe I am wrong about that?
It is absolut wonderful is it not!!! We have maybe just engineering incommen, yet we can make and inspire other people to improve!
Love it! Cant wait to see the next stage!
Vidstig - its true about injection molding, but we're going with 3D printing to first develop a design that works well in small, underdeveloped areas to locally produce these designs.... so designing with that in mind is important....injection molding is good for mass production. not so where were going. Regardless ... like the adjustable attachment points for the case ... good effort.
