Just short video on fitting a 100 watt solar panel on a VW California T5.1 with roof bars. I want to show how easy it is to do and that you don't need to drill or apply adhesives. It took me 2 hours from start to finish and I'm really happy with it. The solar panel keeps my leisure batteries topped up and I never need to worry about them.
The solar panel kit came from Solar Camper Solutions and I chose the Epever Duo Dual Charger which means I can also charge my starter battery.

Thank you for a super video. I have a T6.1, but I'll be using your video as reference for my fitting.

Don't the ocean vans have two batteries? Does it automatically charge both when only connected to just one battery via cable?

Genius!! If I buy a flexi solar panel, how can I buy the metal rails that yours is sitting on, what would they be called? Also wondering what you'd suggest for running the cable into boot for a non pop-top. And finally, do I need to get some specific rubber roof rail gutter guide things? And finally what are the bolts you are using that fit into the roof rail gutter? Thank you :)

Hi, the rails come as standard on California so no idea about buying rails - sorry. Also, I guess you run the cable through the same way as I have in the video.
