A different idea on where to mount solar panels.

We do a bit of boondocking and I'd like to install some solar panels. However, I'm still not sold on the idea of keeping this MH (2005 Fleetwood Excursion 39S Cat C7 350hp w/4 Trojan 125s) so I don't...

Hi Bill,

Kyocera is one brand name that comes to mind. I'm certain there are others.

Another path would be to use a panel with an integrated charge controller such as ac_solar_panels This would essentially eliminate voltage drop as you would be transmitting 120 volts a.c.

Don, this is the OP.

I've started doing a little more looking at panels. If you want to make a suggestion on one large higher voltage, I'd certainly look at it.
