    Solar Help

    Hello and thank you for taking a moment to read this. Just bought a 07 Safari Passage that has four solar panels installed along with a MPPT Charge Controller, but currently cannot find the inverter. The four AGM batteries are charging and running the 12V items, but am still unsure if we just...

    Solar Panel Placement

    Still kicking around putting solar panels on top of the coach. Has anyone put a panel on the bathroom cathedral top? Is there a reason not to? A 425 watt qcell panel would fit very nicely. As far as I can see, about all panels in the 300 to 425 watt are similar in size. I just don't know if...

    Great solar information!

    Some of the reasons I wish I had more real-estate for solar was addressed in this video! But as comprehensive as this video is, it would serve anyone looking into solar to invest the time to watch it. Not much technical stuff here, so it's great for someone that doesn't want to delve into the...

    Solar problems

    I've got a 330 watt solar system. Everything was working fine until a couple of days ago. I lost all power from the panels. I started wringing out the wiring and found no power. I Googled it and found that by resetting the controller it might cure the problem but no luck. Is there an in-line...

    A couple of solar questions

    I was poking around on the roof of the Dutch Star today and noticed a single solar panel mounted near the rear of the coach on top of the master bath roof section. I am assuming that it is to trickle charge the chassis battery but I have never seen mention of it in the manuals. Does anyone else...

    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?

    Thinking about 500 watts of solar

    I have been kicking around the idea of installing 5-600 watts of solar panels. I know I will have to do some measuring and layout planning. A couple of questions: 1) If I go 600, what would be required to convert down to 12v if I put 6 100 watt panels and wire them 2s3p? 2)I am thinking in terms...

    Solar Generator

    I’m curious if anyone knows of a solar generator capable of powering a AC unit. Ours won’t run off of a standard household circuit (rather, it trips the breaker after a minute or so). If that’s not an option, is overkill better for the power needs? Since we work remote, being able to power a...

    Tip Balanced Solar system

    With some experience with Solar I’ve found that having too much of any component can lead to dissatisfaction with Solar products. Also, understanding the installation and installer intent is equally important. Having a bunch of panels that max out the inverter can be efficient or annoying. My...
