DIY Flexible Solar Panel Install - POWER FROM THE SUN!
Powering the house systems on an overland vehicle with solar makes perfect sense - the solar power is free, it takes load off the vehicle's alternator and it means the vehicle systems can run even on days where the engine is not started.
I manage to cram 600W of lightweight, flexible panels onto the roof of the Jeep camper, and today I show you how to do it yourself.
