Opinions on 100W Solar System
I've done my reading and research and think I have a system figured out. Limited space on the roof of my 815 so plan on going with a single panel. Maximum space available is 52 x 25, but optimum...

Push is coming to shove. I made a sketch of my roof top and find it is the same size as Kohldad's, but without the AC, so I do have more wiggle room for panels. Just to show you how right-brain, low-tech I am compared to K-dad, compare this sticky to K-dad's art work: we all need a good laugh right now:
Standing in that self same 90 degree heat, I was not trying to make this an engineering 602d class project like K-dad did. 8<}
I have room for (2) Solar Blvd. panels. Is there some kind of package with them including a controller and cabling? If not, I'm not sure of the controller yet but ready to order on line as soon as I'm sure. And cable?
I'm inclined to line these panels up on the pass side of the TC in front and behind the fridge vent as that side gets less obstinate passing tree parts slowly sweeping by.
We have so many electrical gurus on here that have saved my TC bacon, over and over.
You know, one more thing: after surveying the aluminum roof today in the hot sun in its undulating and contorted 'hot' position, I noticed that this box is getting old. It bears the scars of many campaigns. For Jeanie and I, I think it will go the duration, but just barely crawling over the finish line. My one reservation is throwing all that great sun technology $ at an old hag of a TC. I'm going to do it anyway. I've got to replace the converter too, as that has gone down for the count.
