My Solar Install

I have been meaning to post this for a while. I have been researching on this forum for at least a year now on what to do. Funny how this started as a way to top up my battery, to what it is now. To start with, 80-90% of our camping is boondocking, and I was getting tired of running the honda- especially when we had people very close by.

Hope someone finds this useful, I know how much I learned from all the other installs posted here.

I posted this on my review of the Rogue MPT-3048, but I'll re-post my final config
Sharp 2x235W (ND-L235Q2)- connected in series Voc= 37.2V, Isc= 8.59A, Vpmax= 30.0V, Ipmax= 7.81A 10awg wiring from panel to controller, approx 40ft run
Battery: 2x Trojan 6V T-105 in series (225 AH @ 20 hr rate)

Rogue MPT-3048 (installed after these pics were taken)

Also, have a Xantrex 2000W Prowatt inverter 2/0 awg wiring from battery to bus bar/blue sea 300A switch (approx 3ft)

I really only needed one panel, but I I figured I wouldn't have to worry about tilting or cloudy days with two.

Step one, remove TV antenna, and lay out for the rails- clearly I don't clean under the antenna...



After with rails mounted



Getting the panels ready to mount on roof- they aren't light....


One step closer


And they are on, with not much room left...
