The only way to attach solar panels to roof rack crossbars is either by drilling through the crossbars or finding a way to mount them utilizing the integrated channels. I am not aware of any brackets for this purpose specifically unfortunately so you'll need to get creative. There is another option which would be to mount the panel(s) inside a cargo tray like the Inno Shaper 100 Roof Cargo Basket part # INXA569 so you are drilling into the tray and not the rack. This option would also offer more protection to the panel.
