Airstream Factory Solar Panels

In that post i covered upgrading the batteries to lithium installing a battery monitor inverter charge controller and surge protector.

Airstream factory solar panels.

We now have 500 watts of solar on top of our airstream five 100 watt solar panels. We set up this system with expansion in mind so if they find that 400w isn t enough to offset their light dc loads they have the option of using a portable panel and or they could choose to install up to another 200w on their roof. In the box was a gopower. Digital display amps volts 30a only 5 stage charging algorithms.
