solar

Hi all finally coming to the end of my build(will post how it wet when finished) Got a quick 1 on solar. I'm booked in on Monday to have 1 fitted all I know is that it's a160w stealth panel that is stuck to the roof with all the wiring hidden under the panel so basically theyput a 30mm hole in...

Hey all, new member here but I've been lurking for a while, all the time searching for a T6 Caravelle to replace my Skoda Superb Estate which I've owned since 2019, and has been brilliant as a wagon taking me and my bikes to all corners of the UK. Today, I collected this! It's a 2018 Caravelle...

I think my last post got deleted possibly for pics of manual I used, sorry. Please could someone cast eye over proposed set up for solar suitcase and help me with the following? (total novice so please total layman's terms) Huge delay over the last year with poorly daughter and now wanting to...

Hi have recently added solar charger and battery monitor system to my camper and even though their is a split charge relay between starter and leisure battery i was wondering if i should fit a mechanical isolator, my reasoning for this is 1/ not sure it would or could but i dont want to take...

Hi, Currently considering adding solar. On the van already - RSCDC30 with MPPT built in. Mounted under drivers seat. 110ah Battery Under Passengers Seat EC155 Sargent charger unit SCA Pop top I assume all I need is a Flexy solar panel, correct glands and an inline fuse? With that in mind...

Guys my second flexi panel has gone fut ,I'm wondering about going bigger .say 250W at the mo my old panel 150W is running through a victron 75/15 smart solar charge controller. I have a fairly big off grid system 230AH roamer 12 12 30 orion B2B Bmv 712 monitoring it all bla de bla. If I go...

Hiya. I'm in the process of fitting a solar panel to my pop-top roof. Does anyone know an appropriate IP68 glad that will fit in the existing tailgate holes at the rear of the van? Thanks

Our leisure battery is 70 ah AGM and is struggling to power Dometic CR50 compressor fridge overnight when off grid. Apart from interior led lights and occasional use of diesel heater no other major load on LB. We have a choice to make and need some advice: do we install a 150w (say) flexible...

Super Easy to install. The groves on the the roof allow air to travel through and massively reduces lift on the panel. Had it on for a couple months now, no chance of coming off.

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...

Folks T5 2011 with Pop up Top , Live in Scotland , 2 X 100Ah AGM batteries Looking to get some solar for off grid which is my main reason for having the Van Looking for some advise on whether to get one large panel or 2 / 3 smaller panels The large panel is 270W as example Solar panel...

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...
