Panel recommendations

[Iridetheshortbus]

I am trying to figure out what panels to use for the roof of my school bus. I am wanting to have at least 800watts. I have a 66.5” x 92.5” space to mount panels. (Can be slight bigger than these dimensions)

The only panels I have found to give me 800watts in this space is 2 of These
Are those too big to be vehicle mounted? They would be bolted to angle iron on all 4 sides.

So what recommendations do you have to reach 800watts in this space?

I don't think your ~ 68" x 45" panels are too big. I installed three ~ 69" x 41" panels on my RV roof.

Though my roof space is larger than yours, your 410W panels look great. Good luck!

Ok that’s good to know. What panels do you have?

Looks like a perfect panel selection for that amount of space, good panels too.

For a 12V system, panels in parallel would work great, and a series for 24V.

No, but bring a friend or two to safely get them up top.
