Need help mounting solar panels on top of cargo trailer 09 03 2014 10 40 pm i am perplexed on how to mount my three 250watt solar panels on top of my cargo trailer.
Cargo trailer solar panel mount.
Panel flexes to fit on various surfaces.
This solar charging system helps get you off the grid with a 190 watt solar panel that provides dc power to charge your rv s batteries solar controller regulates and monitors power output while.
Because of this many kits only supply the mounting hardware not adhesive lay out your rigid or flexible panels the way you want them and make sure everything fits.
Note that your roof membrane material will determine the type of adhesive required.
If you would like to help me grow the van build please take a look at this amazon wishlist and help out any way you are able.
Myself and others will be eter.
He didn t want to drill holes in the top of the trailer so he came up with a solution hope you find the video helpful.
Using a flexible 100 watt solar panel and solar controller this charging system provides an extra boost to your rv batteries while you are on the road.
With this type of installation the solar panels are typically six to eight inches above the existing roof rack.
My recommendation is to use this roof vent and allow your side vents to stay as they are.
There are many ways to mount solar panels on your rv.
Ultimately how the solar panels are mounted is totally up to you and should also be based on your skill level and budget.
Flexible panels can be mounted with screws but can also generally be mounted with adhesive.
Separately provides ac power to run appliances and electronics adjustable mount kit sold separately lets you angle the solar panel for maximum sunlight exposure specs.
I this video jack installs solar to his cargo conversion trailer.
Mounting a solar panel in this fashion subjects the solar panel to wind thus potentially stressing the panel mounts and wiring.
Ultimately the best method will depend on the size of your rv the amount of space you have to work with and the size of your solar panel system.
