I had been looking at kits but now have decided on these items.
4 each 170 watt panels https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08C351R5F/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_glAmFbHMN93PK 2S2P
1 Victron 100/30 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073ZJ3L13/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_unAmFb96JYTQ2
1 pair 2 into 1 mc4 adapter...
Looking at 4 panels 180w each. Mounting on my rv is going to be (at this time) 2 panels in landscape and 2 in portrait.
2S2P configuration. if I only tilt 1 panel in each series will it make a difference?
1 of the 4 180w Bougerv panels came shattered. They were going to ship me a new one but having shipping problems with covid....so they offered a refund (which I will gladly take). Is there a safe way using some sort of resin or clear epoxy that anyone has used successfully? And would you mount...
I am in SC just north of Myrtle Beach in a 35' 5th wheel. I have 720w (4x180). 2S 2P configuration. last winter down here I was seeing upper 600's
and 700's in watts coming into my 100/50 Victron. seems I am lucky to get mid 500's this year. Parked in same spot.
Went on roof yesterday and @...
Looking at getting a complete kit for my rv. Was going for the 400 watt premium kit but thought better for the 600 watt. That gives me more wiggle room and meets my needs. But it shows 24v? Reading the specs just makes it look like 2 more 100 watt panels and a few extra parts to mount.....
I...
Just curious if you are on this forum. Looks familiar in build from pics. Panels are even height wise to top of ac units and DIY batteries. Looks nice btw.
Is there an actual formula? I am running an experiment and have 4x180w panels currently in 4s. I have seen 82v so far. Temps 50 to 70.
Tomorrow morning in the upper 30's. my panels are 21.6 plus or minus .5%
My controller is 100/50
Could not find anything to show. Only cold weather blanket...
Would I get more power flowing to the battery with a 100/50 vs a 100/30 in a 2s2p setup with 680 watts and 40v and 20a total in array?
My other thread was if it would work, this is will I get different results?.??
Not looking to add more panels.....just trying to understand if different output...
Ordered 4 180w panels direct from BougeRV. Each had its own tracking number. 3 out of 4 showed up today. One was shattered. Opened a claim with FedEx and emailed BougeRV.
Packaging was minimum. Only corner reinforced. Any words of wisdom in dealing with this?
Almost totally prepped to...
I just went on top of the rv and see some dust and pollen on flat panels. Not tilted because of traveling every few days. Anyone use a coating to make slippery? Wax?303?

The thought just hit me, do I incorporate the 100/50 Victron via the shunt? I will use the app to see incoming power from panels,
My 1st thought is panels to scc (circuit breaker before the scc), then scc direct to batteries.....
I do not have a lot of wiring to do, but need to secure some. Thought about using https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005MN2QHK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_tyA.FbDHDFPQZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I have a TPO roof. I also tilt and need some play.....
Thoughts, ideas?

I have 2 BB batteries. moving from up front storage area in 5th wheel (stock battery location), moving under steps next to the PD converter.
In stock location the battery negative was grounded to frame.
The plan is to keep the existing wire run to the front (with a few tweaks) and using the...
