    Out with the old and in with the new

    Even the overland 160 panels will not work. Their VOC is 33, and max volts is listed as 40.

    Out with the old and in with the new

    I recently purchased a camper & truck over 2000 miles away from home, which the day before I went to get, the seller discovered both alternator charging and solar charging were not working. Long story, but a local dealer couldn't figure out the issue and didn't have a stand-alone solar charger...

    I've got some areas of corroded aluminum on my 2015 camper. Silver spur. Is that finish paint, or just clear over aluminum? Does anyone have a recommendation to match it after I repair the areas? The existing finish has peeled around some lights. The damage doesn't seem to be deep. So I...

    Matching New Solar Panels to Older (2015) FWC (with 100w panel)

    Here's something about the shade tolerance.. According to this the cells are different, but not perfect. And, they also put a few diodes in the panels (although this website isn't about the panels I'm currently looking at). https://www.mcelectrical.com.au/sunpower-review/ Section 2 is about...

    Matching New Solar Panels to Older (2015) FWC (with 100w panel)

    That one is too high of a voltage for me (My MPPT controller only accepts up to 32v for some reason...). And, my main concern is shade tolerance.. I live in the midwest and will basically always be in the woods.. Always have partial shade. I haven't read up on how they work, but apparently...

    Matching New Solar Panels to Older (2015) FWC (with 100w panel)

    I've been wanting to add a modern, lighter and more shade tolerant panel to my older FWC. Mine came w/ the 100 watt Zamp panel. Overland's panels look great, but are higher voltage. I found Sol-Go, who use the same cells as Overland, and their datasheet lists the specs as basically a match to...
