What soler panel is it
Great video. May i ask what adhevsiv,e did you use , as i want to change my panels in my eura mobil ducato..
What size wire do you use to connect everything?
I'm taking of a 135w panel because I'm changing my van.would you suggest buying new or is panel still good its about 9 years old what test results would I look for like you did your test.
Great informative video that will have helped a lot of people. Just one observation, the first connection should be from the battery terminal to the charge controller, after that it is safe to connect the solar panel to the charge controller. Connecting the solar panel to the charge controller before the battery can damage the controller.
Very useful. Thanks
Is this just a one-off, or could you fit one to mine? Nice work, always something good on here!!😉
Good, clear guide. Seen some stupidly over-complicated instructions from 'experts'…..splicing wires, bypassing relays….allsorts of rubbish. then saying that it may invalidate the warranty on your £60k motorhome!
What did you use for adhesive and cleaning
Important points missed. Check where the internal cables run in the roof before drilling. What was the adhesive specification and why didn't you degrease the brackets and the roof.
Wiring is a bit tatty up to the controller
Excellent video I have been putting this job off, your video has given me the confidence to install solar panel on my Motorhome Thank you.
What year was the motorhome? I understand that you cannot use your kit to charge the vehicle battery on Euro 5 or later fiat ducato. My vehicle is 2016. Am I right? Thank you.
Excellent
Excellent video 👍
Thank you for your step by step tutorial, very helpful
Great video, would have been useful to see you actually connecting to the batteries, fitting the fuses and why you had white cable and black cables? Just for us complete novices! Thanks
Great video. what was the name of the brackets you used and where can I get them? Thanks
Hi mate good video what size cable do u need from control to battery’s av got 170watt panel with 20 amp controller ? Thanks
This was a brilliant demonstration of solar installation. I have always been wary, though curious at the same time, about fitting solar charging systems. Thank you so much, brilliant video 🙏
Did I miss something? Why have u connected panel to leisure AND main battery? Thanks
Great video, what brand of glue is that your using to affix the panel too the roof ? Thanks
No need to buy and install a new solar control unit. That Autotrail model (like mine) and other Autotrails, has a solar charge controller already installed inside the main control unit. You simply connect the pos & neg wires from the solar panel to this unit. Also you don't have to take pos & neg wires to the leisure and vehicle batteries, the van's main unit supplies the solar charge to both batteries, depending which battery has the lowest charge.
Should glue it for wire
What size of fuse do we need.
You are not suppose to pull the blue strip you pull it as you guide it on the side were you want to stick That is why the blue strip is for. Next time try
Fab tips but when doing sticky back trunking pull the blue sticky cover as your sticking it down it will save you getting bends
Is it possible to fit a solar panel to a pop up top?
One the most informative and interesting videos I have seen. Love solar. Thank you for putting this together. I am inspired!
Excellent no BS video. Thank's.
I've found a detailed and accurate project on the Avasva .
How much will it cost me to put solar panels on the roof of my motor home? It will be 200Volts solar panel, Bluetooth converter, 15 amp and a leisure battery to install.
You safe my £150 for fitting man,thanks a lot🙂 also thanks to cameraman for his professional recording👍🏼
Sorry mate but your cable connections are rubbish, you can see bare wires on every connection to the solar controller, also NO fuses !!
pity you screwed it up with the trucking
Never done any major electrics nor anything like this. Excellent video which worked a treat for me. Just fitted a 120w solar panel to my Bailey Approach. Took me two days in total but I knew exactly what to do after watching this video. All working well. Thanks mate!
always connect battery to controller first, then solars panels second …….making sure solar panels are covered before hooking up ……S
Hi Jason thanks for the info what wire and fuse do I need for that many thanks mate
My controller can have two battery’s running on it
Hi Jason I’ve got a auto quest 155 elddis. Question for you if you could help me out. I’ve got a 120w. Solar panel and it’s only connected to the leasure battery how do I connect it to the van battery has well ?
Thanks very much!
