Motorhome rooftop mounted Solar options

[ffrree]

Hi, being a newbie to rooftop solar, please excuse the general nature of this opening question!

I am looking at installing a single or dual ( depending on sizes ) solar panel, for as much power as I can afford.

So my questions are

1) Should I go for house panels for reliability and output for the same size?

2) What are the house panels suppliers out there, in Australia? Power output range?

3) What are the mounting options? I intend to mount it slightly tilted towards the front, to allow the wind pressure to keep it secured, is that a good idea?

4) What are the maintenance and repair issues, like cleaning, scratching by tree branches etc?

Hope to get some ideas to start my research, thanks.

This how I did mine, flexible panels x3 , with stainless steel Unistrut enabled edging plate around the two sides and sikaflex to hold centrally. Just ensure you have an air & rain water flow underneath to escape.

1st.. what is the material of your roof, as this can dictate or suggest how you mount them.
