Solar Panel Mounting on my M/H.
Permalink  

 

As I eventually want to go full Solar in my M/H, I thought I would start by using the Solar panels off my boat While they are not being used,

Its 2 X 85 Watt Panels, 1200 X 530 mm

And 2 X 50 Watt Panels, 930 X 500

270 Watts X 12 volt,

That should keep the batterys charged,

I made the frame so it takes one big and one small panel, Thats also where the Frame members in the roof are, 

I even bought a brand new stud finder for the roof Frames, But I cant find the other roof member even by tapping, So it stays out,

Not sure where or how I will run the wires down yet, I will get it up there and installed first, 

I hope the extra holes in it dont whistle, If they do, I will plug them with silicone, 

Raining here, so its slowing things down a bit,

3 mm Stainless Steel angle,

Very strange angle it is too, Its two bits of flat, seam welded by machine on the inside only, Never seen any thing like it before, I dont even know where it came from,

Doesnt matter, It didnt cost me any thing, Its 55 X 60 mm, Odd size as well,

I can put bigger panels on at a later stage, Once I figure out my land usage of power,

These panels were self sufficient on my boat, Auto pilot running 24/7 Electronics, Etc Etc,

But the Coach might be a lot different, Its a totally different Ball Game,

even tho they have the same systems on each,
