    Question Solar Panels

    Does anyone have any insight into the effectiveness of the solar panel on the roof of a 2020 Newmar Baystar 3616. It came standard with a panel on the roof, anyone know what it does and how effective it is. Will it keep the refrigerator running? I keep trying to plug the unit into 110 just to...

    Solar panel/ charger question

    ...box compartments along with the heart interface inside upon climbing the top of the motorhome to inspect the roof I noticed that there was a solar panel my question is does that solar panel go to a charge controller somewhere like my off-grid cabin?

    New Dutchman Kodiak 201QB

    I checked the electrical circuit on the 10AMP solar. We have a pair of solar panels that put out a max of 9.7 amps so that meets the stated spec on the trailer. Not sure on the connection compatibility yet but the panel manufacturer shows the connection method at that end of the circuit to be a...

    Bottom board ( underbelly)

    Sounds like you enjoy projects. Personally, I do too, but I wouldn't remove the underbelly unless I had a problem. Is your solar something you set-up? I can always find a way to pull a few wires without that much effort.

    Question Downside of using large 400+w solar panels

    There are folks that have installed high quality commercial grade solar panels on RVs. What is the downside of using these panels vs ones designed for mobile applications? Other than size, not sure how they survive vibration and stresses of roof mounting on a RV?

    Batteries for my Solar Panel

    I'm totally confused about what I should do. Should I buy one 200ah Lithium battery or two 100ah Lithium batteries. My fridge is 12volt only. The solar panel is 165watt and the solar charger controller is an Furrion MPPT 25A. Also are these difficult to install ? Thanks

    Solar panel

    I can't find my wiring print for you solar panel. But here is how it works. The voltage feeds from the panel to 3 diodes in series. That diode package is paralleled with the red LED. The voltage drop across the 3 diodes allows the LED to glow. Then from the diodes/LED the voltage goes to a 3 amp...
