solar

Recently had a 320w solar panel put onto my T6 camper, plus an upgrade to my leisure battery by Colin at Solar Shack in Ashington. This is a small company but great customer service. Colin is very passionate about all things solar. So with the summer around the corner, I thought I would take...

Hi all. I'm taking tentative steps into powering my internal lights etc with a battery pack. I'd like to install a solar panel on my pop-top. What kind of fixings should I used to attch the panel to the Reimo pop-top (fibreglass) roof? The panel has 6 fixing points. Should I bond it down too...

I bought a five-pack of this Z-section and only needed 2 of the five for my install. £30 plus postage to any forum member for the other 3. Fits Omtec (OEM) rails and crossbars well.

Our T6 has a poptop, with a solar panel bonded directly to it. The panel has failed, but we can get a replacement under warranty. However, getting the panel off the roof is not covered by the warranty, and my conversion company say it's impossible without causing damage to the roof. They suggest...

I'm looking to (finally) put solar onto our camper and was immediately taken by the 200 watt flexible panel from Renogy that's currently £209. I was going to blah two of these when Mrs Stayfrosty asked will they fit?.... as it turns out at 750mm wide, no, blasted roof is just over 1300mm wide so...

Our T6 journey is now completed (at least for now- we've moved away before). We are moving to a small narrow motorhome, primarily for the onboard shower and toilet. We wildcamp (a lot) and the Mrs is fed up of my showering at the back of the van in my undercrackers all year around As you will...

I have in hand a new toy - 100w Renogy folding solar suitcase, and Victron MPPT 75/15 ready to set up (thanks to some great advice from here) Does anyone have good routes to run the leads to outside? My battery is underneath the drivers seat, and the most obvious location for the MPPT is...

So my van sits on the driveway for weeks at a time without moving, so was thinking about getting a panel to sit on the dash to keep the starter charged up.. after reading lots of positive/negative claims about sub 20Watt panels I took a a look at Renogy to see what they had.. (after @Dellmassive...

Hi being new I think I've found the campervan that's suits me how ever I'd like to have a night heater and solar panel fitted are these expensive to have fitted.

I have a Renogy system all working fine. (Battery, Solar panels, inverter, DCDC). The all connect through a data hub and transmit their status over bluetooth to my phone app. I have a monitoring screen for the solar which works then connecting direct to the Elite Solar changer, but doesn't work...

I have zero skills with electricity/mechanics and want to add a couple of solar panels to my T6 lwb roof so that I can keep a fridge running in the summer especially, and generally not need a hookup for off grid camping Can anyone recommend a company that can supply and fit all the kit - based...

I'm getting a 120w solar panel fitted on my SWB T6, unfortunately the only place it will fit (due to roof rack etc.) is at the front of the roof. It's all on the flat surface and stops just before the roof curves down to the windscreen and will be using a flexible panel. Has anyone else done...

My Solar panel a flexible stuck on one failed several months ago. I got a free replacement but am now thinking about putting replacement on top of old panel. Not convinced it will last so it may limit damage to roof. Has anyone done this.

Hey everyone, where are you running the cables when installing solar on your skyline roof (or similar) looking to drill through the rear of pop top and maybe go through the canvas but are there any better options

Bit of a long shot... But here goes.. On the hunt for a Anderson SB50 to Solar MC4 cable (see picture attached) Needed to connect my portable solar panel to my existing solar controller. I've got one on order which was supposed to be here by now.. but Mr Bezos has let down, yet again!! Off...

Hi All, due to my limited understanding of electronics, I’m asking for some help! I have a campervan, professionally converted T6.1 Transporter. it has a solar panel and leisure battery with the following kit: Victron units: ORION TR Smart isolated DC-DC CHARGER next to leisure battery under...

So bear with me. Been looking at getting this (btw, any thoughts on how good these ones are where the wires are discreetly positioned under the back of the panel?): Solar Technology – 150 Watt Flexi Solar Panel – Black Rear Exit – STPVF150RBS - Batteries and Solar ...And after watching people...

I just wondered what your opinion would be. I wild camped for one week and noticed that my two 60 W solar panels and my MPPT controller, would work in the morning drawing a charge of 20 to 30 W but when the Sun rose there would be no charge at all. In the evening as the Sun dropped there will...

Hi I have a Victron alternator charger and a 100/30 mot charger, just wondering if there is an issue with the 2 charging the battery at the same time? How does this work? Thanks
