  1. Could this be folded backwards to put on top of an SUV to use one panel while driving, then unfold when stationary at a camp site? I'm setting up a dual battery system in a Honda Pilot.

  2. My roof experience. Leaves and garbage builds up under panels.
    Possums squeeze under and damage cables.
    Cleaning panels was a pain, Never wipe with wet cloth in sun, crazy cracks appear damage all over panel doh.
    My 5c opinions.
    Ground based or near Ground I find way easier to deal with.
    400w may require a variable amp euc charger so you can charge at
    1.5 amps maybe.
    I run 900w onto 100amp mppt regularly to a 100ah lithium to a 3000w pure sine wave inverter.
    I do like the look of the new power stations.

  3. I like yours the best, but I'd probably just make 2 of them. Then you got double the power of all of them but utilizing the same amount of space, just taller. I think I might try this. How much does yours weigh? I'd probably drill a couple holes & do a rope handle. Then you can carry one in each hand when setting up.
