HOW TO INSTALL THREE SOLAR PANELS 480W - VW CRAFTER CONVERSION - EP. 17

[@fsfazekas]

What a wonderfully simply way to allow for tilt. I'm putting two bifacial panels on the cab of my old military truck and I want to be able to tilt as well. I was designing much more complicated frames within frames and there's no need now. Great idea! Thanks

Nice, this and a couple of other vids have convinced me to use strut rails. Cheers

[@RichieRos]

Great to hear!

I was looking for a such solution as well! I don't like drilling the roof for no good reason, because of potential leaks and if I want to move panels, the roof will be peppered with holes. Gluing is good, but the holders are large and the roof is not perfectly flat. Some people are worried the glue can melt in the summer, which is probably, not the case, but I understand concerns. Professional roof racks are insanely expensive. The rail is as versatile, but cheap and can be expanded with more functionality later!

Very neat job , I have the same panel 180 watt, would the bolts work loose after so much driving ?

You need allot of air under the solar it works better that way. , don't be blocking that off. Great vid matey✌️🇬🇧

Hi Richie, what are the dimensions of your panels. I have got 2 Victron 175w, but I'm hoping to get 3 up on my sprinter between 2 fans as you have. Have no time at present to get up and measure up, so that's why I'm asking as would give me some idea if they would fit. Great videos, I'm enjoying watching them.

[@RichieRos]

Thanks! Hope this helps you with your solar install :)
