The solar panels on my van enter the vehicle through the pop roof and can be seen at the end of the pop bedroom just in front of the rear canvas. From here they are surface mounted and run along the recess above the bed board recess to the B pillar. Here they then fold over the framing (very...

I've spent hours reading posts & watching YouTube videos on fitting a semi flexible solar panel yet I'm still non the wiser. From what I have read you need to leave an air gap to prevent over heating & damaging the panel. Yet most videos I've watched show the panel being bonded all the way round...

My apologies in advance for the length of this post but I thought it was necessary to give a bit of background as well as asking for advice. Firstly, here's the pictures: As some will already have read in my post about our recent trip to South of France, the 160W flexible solar panel...

https://www.travelvolts.net/product-page/flpro-170 Has anyone fit one of these narrow width solar panels ? ( 2024 x 523 wide ) My pop top only has one ridge down the middle so I think it may look a bit naff if i fit it central over the top of the ridge. I suppose i could fit it to one side but...

Hello. I’m investigating which type of Sikaflex I should use to bond the aero panels upon which I’ll fix my 325W rigid solar panel. I purchased two sets of the black aero panels from Batteries and Solar The panel is large, 1m x 1.7m so I want to make sure there’s no chance of it coming off I...

Hi All, I've installed a solar panel and the cable exits at the back out side of the tent and I want to run the cables underneath the reimo roof. The issue is I can't find anything to stick to it. I've prepped and solvent cleaned the surface but VHB tape doesn't work , 5 min epoxy won't hold...

I have recently decided that a Flexi panel with a rear facing junction box is what I want on my pop top. The Photonic Universe 180w is the one I’ve chosen but I have recently heard some bad reports about this particular panel and was wondering if any members have any experience of this...

I'm looking at getting one of these when back in stock: https://www.photonicuniverse.com/en/catalog/full/438-160W-Black-Reinforced-semi-flexible-solar-panel-with-round-rear-junction-box-and-3m-cable-with-durable-ETFE-coating-German-solar-cells.html It's black and stealthy and you wont see the...

I just posted this on the wrong thread...:( Just when I thought I had cracked the “which solar panels” question another potential problem comes up. For me, height is critical so I can’t have anything more than 2cms above the roof. I want 200w of solar power up there and 2x100w panels would be...

I've got a PMS3 in my van, and have got a 120W folding solar panel (this one). The solar panel has just been used to charge power banks but I would like to see how I could use it to charge the leisure battery (and maybe the main battery). I would need to buy an MPPT controller, but how would I...

Hi All, I'm going to fit a flexi solar panel in the next few weeks. For those in the know, will an oversize panel of wrap on the roof hold down a glued panel or would I need to have the whole roof wrapped?

Hi All, I’m looking to install a solar panel onto my t6 roof.. I’m wondering if anyone can help with how they’ve brought there cables into their van? Thanks

I am trying to wire up a solar controller inside my camper and run a lead to a point at the back so I can plug in my suitcase panels as and when required. All is going well so far but I am struggling to find an easy solution to the connect/disconnect plug and I have butchered so many MC4 and...

Can I just run my [limited] knowledge and plan past the team for critique; I'm being given a new 325W solar panel by my local installer as I'm buying enough for him to throw one in for 'free', (I've having an additional 5KW system added to my house roof). It measures 1656x992x40 mm and I will...

I've had my solar panel on the van for around a month now and all seems well up until the last few days. Up until then I have had a few Wh of solar each day even in minimal sunlight. For some reason though while on my trip in the outerhebrides I have got nothing out of the solar for the last 3...

After a second flexi solar panel failure, I'm going for a rigid type in the hope that it's a last time fit & forget job. The first flexi to fail was a generic chinese one factory fitted to the poptop by Reimo, that lasted around 2 years. The second one, which has just failed was a Carbest...

So I have a Sterling DC to DC B2B charger and have bought an AMT 12-2 to keep the starter battery topped up (Leisure Battery topped up by separate solar). Is it as simple as connecting the AMT 12-2 to the connectors in the Sterling unit labelled 5, 4 and 3 or am I a clueless :rolleyes: AMT

After spending the evening reading all of the great threads regarding solar panel installs Im planing on placing an order tonight. Has anyone used one of the self adhesive solar panels? I'm looking at a photonics universe model.

Hi I have a 120w solar panel running to my CTEK250-SA. I have just bought the Victron SmartShunt (Not installed yet) and would like to see what power I am getting from the solar panel. Not sure the shunt does that, so what would be the best kit to install to monitor solar output please along...
