Hi I wonder if somebody can help me please?

I'm installing solar panels onto a campervan roof, and on one side it has T Bolts sticking out of the roof, I'm therefore going to fit stainless steel slotted channel directly to these T Bolts, however on the other side it has an Awning fitted, and they've already used the T Bolts by fitting aluminium slotted channels.

Therefore on the Awning side, I was planning on fitting a Stainless Steel Angle Bracket to the existing Aluminium Channel, with Stainless Steel M6 bolts into Stainless Steel slotted channel nuts, directly into the Aluminum channel....

The problem is Galvanic Corrosion?

Would I need to try and source some aluminium channel nuts, bolts, and angle bracket?

If so I'm worried about the force on the aluminium bolts, as wind force will. Be getting under the solar panels and could break them?

Or would it be OK to use the stainless steel hardware into the aluminium but smother it in loads of grease? How long would this work for on the roof of a van subjected to the weather in Scotland constantly?
