I didn’t get to spend much of today working on my trailer as I intended, but I did make some progress. I got the solar panels mounted on the roof. I didn’t get the wires run and the controller installed, but there is always tomorrow. I used some tracking and bolted it down on the sides so there are 4 bolts going into the frame. The panels bolt into the channels. I didn’t want a bunch of small holes in the roof, besides the fact that I don’t know what I am drilling into below.
I actually have room for another panel on this rack as you can see. We’ll see how these two panels do. If they work well, I may add a third and get a second deep cycle battery so I can store more juice. We’ll see. I hope to get the controller in this week and then cut the opening in the ramp for the Window AC next weekend. I have a long weekend and it will be my last chance to finish up these mods before my trip.
