As a dyi solar newbie, I have a few questions regarding proposed 200 watt panel install on my truck's ARE fiberglass topper. Background: My truck topper has an existing Yakima roof rack system that I often use to transport paddleboards. I want to attach the solar panel directly to the rack system roof track rails using anchors inserted into

Step 1: Prep the Roof. I used the foam from the solar panel packaging to figure out placement on the roof. I've offset my panel to the side, so that when my SUP is on my roof racks the whole panel isn't covered.

Sizing Your Solar Power System. At this point you may be wondering how many solar panels you will need for your rig. In the introductory paragraphs, we alluded to a minimum of 200 watts with a minimum of 200 amp hours of battery power. The size of your solar power system, of course, depends upon your personal needs.

Your typical 100 watt solar panel pushes about 6 amps max. A little more or a little less depending on voltage. Using a higher voltage 100 watt panel, sometimes labeled 24 volts, putting the two panels in series, or getting one bigger panel would keep wattage under that.

The Roof Layout. We need a large array of solar panels to support our 100% electrical home on wheels. Our 1970 Avion C11 truck camper may be small compared to most RVs, but requires a lot of power to run appliances that are commonly run on propane—such as the heater, stovetop, and refrigerator. Truck campers are tough for solar energy.

It works great in the full sun, the 800watts of solar can just barely keep up with the 500ish watts demanded by a 5,000btu AC unit. For a small truck camper, I would look into the little portable ecoflow AC unit along with a big ecoflow battery/"solar generator" being charged by as much solar as you can cover the roof with.
