How To Setup Overlanding Solar Panels?
Are you frightened by the expense and difficulty of installing overlanding solar panels for your vehicle, van, or camper? However, we've come up with an alternative that is surprisingly affordable, highly efficient, as well as easy to put in.
The parts you'll need
- If you want to ensure that both 35-liter compartments of my fridge freezer are continuously freezing at 0 degrees, you should choose to install two solar panels that are 100 watts each. If you're looking to take ice cream or cold beer with you on the camping trip or use smaller fridges and freezers, just one of these panels will suffice to meet your requirements.
- Choose the solar panels that you want to install. Keep in mind that these panels will help you in the long run, so ensure the quality of your Overlanding panels.
- You'll have to connect these panels to the power cord, and this set of parallel adaptors with a Y-branch will do the trick and provide IP67-grade waterproofing.
- The adaptors join the power cable with this BougeRV10AWG extension cable, which allows you to transfer power from the ceiling to your mattress. It's also IP67-rated, offers far more power than the panels can provide, and is priced at $20 for 20. It's more than what you'll need and allows you to connect the cable to the outside of the way and into the inside of your vehicle's curves.
- You can drill a void through your roof to execute the cables across. Then close the gap using a waterproof housing. The cover is priced at $18 and offers waterproof shelters for two cables and mounts with 3M sticky pads, which I covered with continuous bead silicone.
- In the end, you'll need to connect the DC connector to connect the cables to any power-management device you choose. This is priced at $12.
Now, all you need to do is to connect all the parts and enjoy solar energy with the help of your solar panels.
