solar panel

Cleaned all the dirt off the 100w panel this morning and I have a question about the panels wires crossing the corner. This is a factory installed panel so is this normal? I am thinking with vibrations the wires will scuff the cell on the panel,what do you think?

My 2020 geo pro came with Go Power solar installed: a single 100w rooftop panel connected to a 30amp wall-mounted controller. Works great for 2-3 days dry camping with careful power use. What would I gain if I added a second 100w rooftop panel to the existing setup, through the same controller...

Hello fellow RVers getting ready to head out and use their Solar Panels. I got a big question. I just bought two 170watt panels for my new Rockwood Mini Lite 2104S and would like to set up a "Electric Solar Panel Brackets" to raise and lower my panels, instead of fixed "flat mount" or a "fixed...

In an earlier post, we discussed the challenge of flexible solar panels becoming hazy and impacting the performance. Did some research on headlight restoration products and found that Meguiars had excellent ratings so I tried it. Was a simple two step process. Took about 20 minutes to do one...

Hi all. My Rockwood has a Zamp Solar plug in it. SAE style. Can I use any set of solar panels with it as long as there’s a plug that’ll fit? I found a 100w set from Harbor Freight that comes with various adapters for plugging in. It significantly less than the set from Zamp. Thanks.

Noticed that the solar panels on our 2018 Dynaquest looked dirty (milky) like the haze you see in older car headlights. I tried cleaning with soap and water...dirt came off but milky look remained after drying. They are Solar FLEX 100W by “GO power!” gpelectric.com Has anyone experienced...

We're from North Carolina. We sold our Prolite and are moving into something with fewer leaks. Trips in 2019 were a 2 month Winter loop in the South West, and a 3 month grand Yukon / Alaska loop. But for such trips the Prolite is just not heavy duty enough. We'll be picking up our 19 in...

I have been using 2 panels of 100W ea as portables on the ground with no problems, and now I want to mount them on my 5er roof permanently. I have a screwdriver antenna and of course other antennas up top. Have any of you experienced interference to ham radio, TV, sound systems, etc?

Hello, We are ready to place our order for our first trailer (ultralite 2614bs). FR offers a roof mounted 100 w solar panel and wiring as an option. Has anyone ordered this? Did it come with an inverter? If so, was ac available inside the tt via standard outlets. Or is the inverter in the tt...

I am a relatively new Rockwood Mini Lite owner (previously owner of a 2017 Rockwood ESP 2280bh Tent Trailer). I prefer dry camping although the rest of my family prefers full hookups at KOA. I have been researching solar panels for several years now to sustain my batteries off the grid and...

We go to Yuma for a couple of months in the winter and have noticed fairly high electricity charges each month in excess of $100 per month plus surcharges. When we take our new motorhome down there this year I was thinking of taking our 180 watt portable solar panels down with us and maybe run...

So my NOBO 19.1 you can walk on the roof, I think they called it a Rhino Roof, and I have the Rhino rack and it comes pre-wired for solar. I have decided on the Renogy Solar Kit. It comes in a 200 or 400 watt kit, and each 100watt panal is about $100 ea. The reason I am going to go with Renogy...

This is on my Brand new Forester (well it did sit at dealer for several months) This is the Go Power 100w factory installed solar panel. This looks like a piece of plastic that set in the Florida sun for months (and it did). Will this haze affect the performance? I am looking to expand...

I have a 2020 Geo Pro 19FD that has a connector on the side for an additional solar panel. I need to know what type of connector it uses.

Hey all, I purchased a fifth wheel RV going on 2 years ago. I have always wondered about a solar panel attached to and wired to the roof AC unit. I'm just wondering if it's still working how much power it could provide. I'm full time so saving on electric would be great. Any info provided would...

I have looked at several web sites and cannot find a reliable source of information on installing a solar panel on the roof. Most say dicor mount and more dicor. My concern is that the roof has 1/8” luan with about five inches of styrofoam. I cannot find a reliable source that gives me the...

I have a 2020 Geo Pro 19FBS with a roof mounted go power 100W solar panel. My question is if I add another 100 W portable solar kit and plug it into the side port do I need to add another "charge regulator" to the added portable solar kit? Or does the internal controller handle the additional...

Please let me ask that no one nit pick my English since I am new to this, both the Forum and Motorhome owning. Just completed my first lengthy vacation in my Motorhome. At one point I heard a different noise that seemed a little unusual. I stopped at a roadside rest area and looked at...

Has anyone installed solar panels on the roof of there leprechaun? If so, how did you mount them. I'd like to install just one panel for battery charging.......Bruce

I have a portable 100W panel so that I can move it around in our shady sites. I am going to add a permanent, identical panel on the roof. On the roof, looking at the TV antenna crank, the AM- FM radio antenna is 13" to the rear. I'm pretty sure that coax goes right into the wall between the...

Does anyone know whats the largest watt solar panel you can use on the little plug at the front of the geo pro and e pro campers? I know they come with a 100 watt panel already mounted and the plug on the front. Just curious how big of a panel you can pulg in.

I own a 2016 Grey Wolf Toy Hauler 26rr. The unit has two 12 volts batteries. I use my Honda 2000 for heavy users like the microwave. 12 volts for radio/CD player, phone charger, lights and other small parasitic draw. From your experience how big of a solar panel will need (wattage). The unit...

Does the inverter have to be on for the solar panel to charge the battery or is it constantly charging the battery? I have a GEO-PRO 19BH

My electrical knowledge is lower than basic! I want to use my 50W solar panel to trickle charge both batteries. I think the two batteries are connected in series and therefore being depleted equally when being drawn upon? Check out the pic...is this connection correct for charging them both with...

I have a 100w solar panel that makes 19V 5.2 amps. Is there a component that converts this to nominal 12V ~8 amps? My current controller only gives me ~5 amps at ~ 12V - a flow through. this kind of converter/ controller could give me almost 3 amps more! does it exist? Thank you E Bergler
