Van Conversion Week #10 (Solar Panels)

0

Three (3) 160 W solar panels are now secured to the roof. Mounting the panels was a two man job. And I’ll give a shout out to my dad because the design was a one man job, his…

A series of aluminium hinges are oriented to mount the panels rails of unistrut that run across the roof. The unistrut is then secured to the roof with motor mounts.

Wires (#10 AWG) from each panel are then run through the roof into a combiner box inside the van.

While the panels are currently collecting power, the power isn’t going anywhere just yet. Nothing else is wired.

Stay tuned.
