Thank you. This really helps. I am going to check out the Panasonic panels. I am going to explore the 24V option also. Thanks again!

Thanks for GREAT share and information! Makes sense to keep going back to Watts for sizing and such. My needs now for a minivan are much smaller, all I really want is to be able to make cofee and heat up some food, so a 1000 to 1500 watt solar generator may do it... All the BEST and safe travels! Cheers :)

Hi Kirt, great video, really makes sense 👍. I’ve just finished my solar setup on our Citroen Relay (Promaster) which as you say needs lots of leg work to see what and for how long your going to use items but once that’s done plus added percentage just in case it does seem to tie together. We are based in the UK and plan to travel into Northern Europe therefore I have made a frame for my 590 watt solar array and can tilt it up to 40 degrees which really makes the harvest watts jump when in operation, thought that might be worth a consideration for those skiers out there? Keep up the posts really enjoy your vlogs

Awesome! Tilting the panels is definitely a option. Safe travels and thanks for watching!

Great video. I've always wonder how those panels would hold up in a hail storm. Being east of the Rockies has big stones. I've always thought having a system that would fold on itself, with plywood or corragated steel facing up after folding, would protect the panels.

Thank you! The Panasonic panel is rated up to 1inch hail. Hail that big you will be more worried about your rig. Haha. I would definitely get a residential panel instead of the Amazon ones. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for explaining that it makes sense now but my question to u is how much is that 1000watts running like how many outlets or tvs air conditioning etc is what I'm trying to figure out what is ur elec usage that makes ur 1000w/day is what I'm trying to figure out so I can finally put it all together to make complete sense. I'm learning all this cause I'm going to build my own bus and I have done research and watches tons of videos but I can't get this part of it to be complete for me to get it all.. ur help would be greatly appreciated cause I got it just from u explaining just this much off it. I don't know why some people make things so complicated when it doesn't have to be lol !!!!

If I want to do all solar, and I will have both 120 and 12v, will I need two different inverters?
@OverlandUncharted
@OverlandUncharted 2 года назад
No if you use a 12v battery bank. Your solar charger will convert your solar panels to 12v. Your 12v items will hook up to your batteries. You will need a inverter to go from 12v to 120v. If your battery bank is 24v then you will need to step down to 12v and then need a inverter to goes from 24v to 120v. Hope that helps and makes sense. Thanks for watching
