I have installed a 100W Solar Panel to charge our Batteries.
I bought the set, including Panel, Charge Controller and 2 MC4 Connectors on eBay for around $150.
Following instructions on the Internet I put the wire through the fridge vent. That was a good choice.
I bought thick wires at Home Depot.
Here are the parts and tools.
I connected the MV4 Adapter to the wire.
The brackets attached to the panel.
I unscrewed the cover of the fridge vents and put the wire through the cover. It was a bit tricky getting the wires through.
I have selected a place at the rear behind the fridge vent, because it has the least wind when I drive and the wire is not so long.
Here an overview.
Now the brackets are screwed into the roof. I used a lot of chalk, so that no water can get into the roof (hopefully).
The white wire is coming from the roof. I had to drill a small hole, so the wire can run into the RV. Everything is covered with a lot of chalk afterwards.
This is the solar converter. I have installed it in the electric compartment. It is directly wired into the points where the batteries are connected.
Here are the wires coming through the vent after it’s reattached. The screws are covered with chalk again.
This is the finished installation.
