I like the second option. Less chance of shading from ac cover. Put them as far from the ac unit as possible.

Hi all. I have the typical roof top panel layout question and was hoping for some suggestions on placement and which panels to...

Do you have enough space around your house? Maybe small hills? If both answered with yes -> Pumped Storage Hydropower ;)

Gravity battery? Use excess power to hoist very heavy objects high up, which are attached to flywheels, which is attached to an...

A 15v panel is perfect for a lifepo4 12v battery which charges at 14.4 or whatever. They are just letting you know you can't use it...

My point was that it currently makes sense for manufacturers to ignore the old ‘standard’ entirely. Because other than maybe for some RV...

The panel you posted an image of has a Voc of 27.28 and a Vmp of 23.83. This makes it unable to charge a 24v nom. battery by itself. It...

Well, doesn't that make this even more peculiar if there's even less reason to fit in to narrow voltage margins now? What's the point...

I've been out of the panel purchasing game for a while, so I'm cruising all of the consumer grade retailers I've known over the years...

I mean if it were just adding 48v of batteries it'd be NBD. But there goes your factory installed charge controller (oh no!), and now...

Okay, well the overwhelming majority of travel trailers come with 12v systems. Many people want to know what it will take to run their...

I've been toying with the idea of stepping up to a higher voltage on my new camper right out of the gate. This would involve...

Yeahhh don't think there's any fridge vent. This video is of the sister camper (Ibex) same floor plan as mine. 12v only fridge. Only...

Hmm guy didn't even mention going through the roof vent, I took it to mean that he installed entry glands on the roof behind where the...

As luck would have it, last night I joined a fartbook group for these campers and posted some questions. I didn't have high hopes since...

I do think you’re on the right track of paralleling panels for an RV roof, however if the gland is wired internallly with 10 AWG, this...

Thanks. I was quite surprised to see that BougeRV does have a 300w 12v. Rather off the beaten path of my typical solar googling being...

Parallel conection of panels does not need matching current, however the shaded group will have a different maximum power point that...

Parallel panels or groups of panels in series are not all affected by one panel or series of panels being shaded. Just think of the...
