Home solar panel on RV...anyone attempted?
Okay, I have one extra solar panel from my home system. The panel is 66.5" x 40" in size see the specs below. I have looked online and haven't been able to find many people who have done this. Am I missing something? I have only a basic knowledge of solar but, on the surface it seems like it should work with the right sized controller. My thought is if I can mount one large panel vs. several smaller panels it would just simplify installation. So, my questions are:
1. can I use the home panel on my Trailer?
2. what controller?
3. where to mount on the roof?
With regard to that last quetion. My 1st choice would be near the front (see arrow) for making the wiring easier as well as less things in the way to possibly shade the panel. Main concern is the excessive wind at the front. Which brings me the the question of how to mount and have the option of tilting the panel?
Other mounting options would be near the back (see other two arrow) However mounting back there would bring possible shading issues into play.
Thoughts??? Idea?
