Solar panels #22

Open kklem0 opened 4 years ago

Apparently the roof is smaller than expected, usable area is maybe only 460 x 215. Satellite Internet antenna not gonna happen so that's good news for solar panels, bad news for @clementhk .

We should probably make the panels a bit higher than the windows on the roof so sunlight could still goes through the panels into the RV. But if we're not gonna open the windows on the rooftop, we could probably change them into glasses, so the sunlight could still come through, then we don't need the panels to be installed too high, though we might still need to do it for the exhaust fan in the toilet, if we don't install it on the wall.

Maybe SunPower 390W SPR-MAX3-390 (4,000 NOK) x 4, but wasting a bit of space, re-thinking.

Add wind deflector?

Looking into flexible panels as the RV is a bit overweight now..

But the edges will be stacking, need to look into that. Here's a guy installing it nicely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJIEXhnF8MU
