More Solar for "Us"

For tree branch protection, perhaps you can use something like chicken wire fencing over them supported by a light wooden frame of some sort? Or a better version of that. Not much shading would happen with that anyway.

Our Dometic air conditioner shroud has no back wire grate covering, so the fins of the a/c were getting bent with tree branches. (you need a "fin comb" to fix them I am told) I saw some trailers with the same shroud but with an extra wire grating to protect the fins so I got some of that at Home Depot and snipped to size and added that to the back of the shroud.

So I am wondering if the same idea could be applied to your solar panels.

Yes they will be mounted on the MH roof
The blue sky controller looks like it's built to be bullet proof and at 25amps plenty large capacity so I can add more panels in the future,
These are extremely light maybe 10# or so apiece, NO glass sheild, there is some kind of thin plastic? Covering that has a few scratches, Ive got to be careful about tree branches

The model-type # is US-37T

Maybe 75W was all the previous owner could muster most of the time...

Let us know how it works laying flat. I guess you are going to mount these on top of the trailer ???

I want to do the same thing sometime soon. I just want to trickle charge my battery bank during the daylight hours...

Im thinking you did good...

Mr Wizard you didn't get burned. You'll end up with 5 to 6 amps of usable charge rate while the sun shines.

I asked about the 2000e on here last winter and was told it is still considered a "modern" controller with a good rep.
