Whether you are building out a globe trotting overland rig or a weekend warrior vanagon solar power is a great way to stay off the grid longer and keep your house batteries topped off all while running your devices and appliances.
Vanagon solar panel installation.
I wanted to run the solar panel kit through its paces before putting my thoughts together in this review.
I ran the wiring from the panel through the pop top shell along the inside edge of the headliner through a special tube that sheena sewed in the gore tex tent through the bed platform down the wall behind the counter and under.
New solar panels come out almost every week now and they are becoming lighter more efficient and more cost effective.
Not a bad idea.
Welcome to the next generation of ultra compact super efficient solar technology.
The solar panel s job is to convert the sun s energy into electrical current and then pass it down the line.
Those who install solar on their vans or campers know it is often difficult to get the wires into the vehicle.
I store the 25ft extension cord in the solar panel which makes it very convenient.
I ve used this solar panel for about 6 weeks now on 3 different long campouts.
