Solar is a great topic and I think we motorhomers are just at the beginning of a trend to use them. I just started my journey in solar.
An alternative? I did a little research and think I came up with a good starter package; 2-250W 24v mono panels, breakers, breaker box, 60amp MPPT controller, monitor, heavy wire, brackets, all top quality stuff for about $1,300, that's before any delivery costs.
Then I decided for me a better alternative was a 200W mono folding portable panel with built in controller and battery clips for $475 including delivery. Trees will be much less an issue and more watt for the buck!
I can afford to experiment with $475 (I can sell it pretty quickly if things change).
My knowledge is minimal as is my watt needs, I think? I want to subsidize my power needs, not try and fa-fill them. It's an experiment, we'll see how it works out.
