Hi,

I've moved to being full time in the RV.

I'm in the first stages of planning a solar "wing" for the driver's side of my RV. I want to hinge at the top so I can tilt when stopped.

I'm open to all ideas about doing this. I will probably use MPPT with the panels in series.

I'm 100 inches wide so I want to keep it "thin".

I'll have to avoid the furnace/water heater so there will be a gap.

The panels will double as awnings for the bedroom and dinette windows.

Greetings .. as an FYI ... a university (name escapes me) has invented a SPRAY ON photovoltaic membrane onto any surface, even FLEXIBLE surfaces.

PRO:
Imagine your awnings coated with this film. Humungous area for generating electricity.

CON:
Still in development phase and voltage output is still low at this point.

Don't hold your breath though and go with your ideas that you have now.

Regards,
Ray
