Hi guys! Always a pleasure to ask questions on here, everyone is super helpful!
Here’s my concern. I’ve been going back and forth on how the hell to mount panels on our roof. Back story, it’s an 2008 E350 Cutaway van outfitted by TurtleTop shuttle company. Just under 23 ft bumper to bumper. Roof width is about 70” and the length before the front dips down is around 14ft.
To get the best bang for our buck we are leaning towards Renogy 450W panels 75.2”L x 44.6”W. This should provide plenty of charge for 1200Ah or more of EG4 lithium server batteries(leaning towards these due to many of Will’s review videos).
Now what would be the best way to mount the most Watts on the roof? We will just have a Maxx Fan up top as we’re going the mini split route for A/C.
I’ve been thinking of building an aluminum roof rack from square tubing. But I’m not sure what other ideas are out there! Thanks for any help!
