Finally some progress on my RV solar.

With all that power and shade you or the OP could probably install a more efficient split system mounted somewhere else. .

Or I can just sell my beast of an RV and go with something that is more solar friendly.

I like that roof.

On my 35’ RV, After putting six hundred watts panels on my roof and avoiding 2 A/C units, 2 skylights, 3 vents, 4 pipes, I may be able to put down 350 watts more, but its like a Jenga puzzle. I could give up the walkway on the North side, and I may get an additional 400 to 600 watts, but those would be shaded at least partially for most of the day from all the obstructions.

Might have been me. Most RV's don't have enough clear acreage for enough solar to make much of a dent. I read from above, you have 8, 300w panels ? 2S4P ?

Looks great. I would have to remove both of my air conditioners along with the sky lights and vent fans to do that.

I sure wish I could remember who told me that you cannot put enough solar on your RV to be worth the trouble......

I just got my panels on the roof and am getting them fastened down. I will have 4x series pairs of 300 watt panels, The four pairs will be paralleled using a Midnite Solar combiner. I am over paneling to make up for less than "solar ideal" locations. I hope to have my batteries in a week or two and I can commission my system.
