Hey All,

So me and my dad made a custom made camper trailer.. its 80% complete.
The trailer is based off a design from a company called Drifta in Australia, they use to make camper trailers
called Drifta dot 6 that was built on a 6x4 camper trailer with a canopy and rooftop tent.

The last Dot trailer they made is the one I'm copying "I got permission to copy it from the company owner",
the trailer was based on a design that was dependent on solar and battery and backup if needed gas stove.

The trailers sold for $50,000+ and they had 525w solar on the roof of the rooftop tent. Their rooftop tent was a bit wider
then mine by 80mm.

What I'd like to have is 200w x 3 in series either shingled mono or trina perc mono. I got about 2100 L x 1400W to play with.
I found some panels that just fits kinda or I could try make it work -


other then that I can't find really any good 200w the beat that panel with 24voc, 10.2 imp and has trina mono perc 9BB

Bluesun makes shingled 170w panels with 26voc, 7.54 imp but my aim is for 600w.

And not looking for semi flexible as the roof gets hot and they would also.. fixed is the way to go.

The only 200w shingled I've found is -

Its pretty good though unsure how good as not seen any reviews on them but they have 27voc 8.66imp

Based on a calc the exotronic 200w x 3 in series max output gives 55ah
Bluesun 170w x 3 in series max output 48Ah though being shingled people seem to say it gives allot more power... Not clued in on shingled stuff
ATG 200w shingled x 3 in series max output is 53ah

Using a victron smart mttp either 100/50 or 150/60 converting to 12v

If anyone knows any other good 200w panels that are around 1400 x 700 and around the 9-12kg mark in 12v with higher voc then 24 and imp over 8
either on a website or alibaba cause I've searched along time on alibaba and 98% of panels are 400w+
