Everything i’ve read says the flex panels won’t last & I only want to do this install once
It’ll take a bit more installation time for the solid panel mounts, but it’s the most reliable result

Ok
My parts came in, everything looks clean (I ordered everything from Amazon, & saved $$$ via the open/damaged box warehouse)
So, with connectors & 30amp controller...$310 + sales tax (on some, but not all items).
I’ll mount the two solid panels on the roof with the drill-free mounts
On-line, it is suggested that I “rough-up” the drill-free mount underside with a Dremel where the Sikaflex adheres to the roof.
I’ll wire the two panels in parallel, with branch connectors, and run the +/- lines down the refrigerator vent using 10 gauge stranded wire (20’ @ $.35/ft x 2) directly to the PWM 30amp controller located just inside at the entry door wall
Then a short run from the controller to the +/- battery terminals under the steps
Photos to be added shortly...
