Roof mounted solar options

[PhillH]

Hi all, I am thinking of mounting a solar panel to my pop top roof. I have a stealth roof so it has ribs.

I am undecided if I want a back entry junction box or if I would be happy with a low profile top mounted junction box as I have roof bars so it’s not like I need a discreet panel but do want a semi flexible panel.

Also how are you routing cables? Through the tent or at the back of the tent?

Thinking of a 200w panel, I have been looking at the photonic universe panel but wondering what other have and how they look

Thanks

On my van it goes outside the tent. Various other options for you on this thread.

This is my poptop/tailgate solution

Any reason for looking specifically at the photonic universe panel ?

I do prefer the idea of keeping the cable outside the tent to be honest.

Just because of the cables coming from the back of the panel but I am looking at alternatives that’s why I asked what other people have and done
