RV Solar Install Easy DIY Renogy 200 watt Flexible solar Panels

The new 200 watt renogy flexible solar panels have a good build quality and hoping for the best on these. I have had these for over 2 weeks since video was released and doing great. Let me know if you have questions. #solar #rv #renogy #offgrid #ecoflow #diy
*DISCLAIMER* the delta pro can handle a 1600 watt total input. Not sure why i kept thinking it was 1500..🤷🏼‍♂️ hey mistakes happen lol.

Great setup! Thanks for sharing 😁👍 These panels are pretty cool!

I just bought a couple of the new Bouge RV 200 watt Yuma CIGS flexible panels and have been seeing how well they work. I'm like you I don't like drilling holes in my roof. 2000 watts of solar is great. My trailer is not as big as yours so I'll have to have less watts on the roof. But I have some ridged panels that I can put on the ground if needed. Great video!!

Trial and error and it's All Good! You're about to be set-up for sure!👍

I tried to put some UV protectant on my panels too and then realized they were not producing energy as much as they used to. First I did not make the connection ... but then I realized that they started producing less energy since I used the UV protectant. And it makes sense ... it is the UV light that makes the Silicon waffles give energy. You don't want anything on the panels that would block UV light go through :)

Thanks this is cool and maybe can be used vertically. Space may be limited but I haven't seen too many vertical applications and this may work. Thanks for posting this video. 73

We have a very similar setup on our class A motorhome, ( thin panels, that we can remove when we don’t need them).
In past experience, ( at our home using the same panels), we discovered that if glued or taped directly to any surface doesn’t allow enough heat to escape, ( fire hazard). And the panels don’t last nearly as long. All of our panels are elevated 1” above the surface of the roof, ( ours are mounted on 1” tall posts), all held down via screws into the posts, ( no holes drilled into the roof, ( our roof is one piece fiberglass with no supports underneath, ( typical on Tiffins).
Other than that we are very happy with our setup, many of our panels are now over 4 yrs old and still going strong.
We only need solar when we boondock, which is only once or twice a year, so we store all our panels in one of our bays stacked like a deck of cards. It does take and hour or two to screw them all down to the pre- mounted posts, then plug into the mc4 connector on the roof.

I use durabond rv roof repair tape and I put corrugated plastic under the pane to let water out

What up Doe J' Dub!?

Very very nice set-up!!
The best I've seen so far!
Maybe when you add a few more panles(300w each🤔) and another Ecoflow with extra battery, that could do the trick? Can't wait to see your next update vid...

Great job 👍🏻

I’ve been looking for a video like this, thanks for sharing your ideas. I’m planning to do the same thing on my small TT, do you have a video on how running the wires from the roof to inside your TT?.

Hobotech channel just did a video on solar panels similar to this that have the glue made into them, they are peel and stick. Also, you can walk on them. He shot five holes in a panel and it still worked. He ran a side-by-side over the panel with the bullet holes, plus drug it top side down over gravel, it still worked. Only draw back, they are expensive.

I decided on rigid 200 watt panels and using channel strut as the base mounting system. So it will be easy to move, slide, replace panels as needed. The channel comes in 10 foot lengths and I can screw them directly into joists or cross members for super sturdy connection.

look at the EG4 3000EHV-48 as it will do up to 500 VDC, 80A for 5KW solar input and output 3KW @120v 25A. couple that with a couple of server rack batteries for 10Kwh of storage. The unit also supports the remote start of a generator.

[robwinkler]

Your giving me more confidence in VHB tape holding the panels down after watching the video. I want to put some panels on my Outback travel trailer to also power a Delta Pro. A big thank you for the 303 UV protection tip!
I don't know if they were available to you but did you consider 24v panels? I like the idea of getting 120v out of only three panels to feed the Delta Pro.

[tommyschroeder]

I use 303 on my boat and love it. Especially for the UV protection. I wonder if that UV band is partially beneficial for the panel power production though?

Great video! That said... curious to know if you gave any consideration to running longer flex panels(?) I've heard (can't recall who at the momment) that there are a few high-end flex panel companies who will cut flex panels to custom size lengths, which would not only cut down on the number of individual panels, but would also cut down on the lengthy wire runs and extra connections(?) Again, just curious to see if you maybe considered this before buying all the individual panels for this project(?)

[fernandomarcano]

I have 5 "should of did 6"Canadian Solar 420 on my rv. The flexible panels are amazing in comparison.

[wilson]

Awesome awesome vid! I have a similar set up. 2 questions! What cable do you use going into the 30A port on the delta pro and secondly, the delta max extra battery will work with the delta pro?!?

[Hemifan]

How are you hooked I to the RV power system. I get the install, not how it hooks into the RV.

[klatlap]

I would have used spacers between panel and the roof for better airflow.
