The built in kickstand angle is a fixed at 50 degrees. Up to 20% more power can be output by selecting the actual date and latitude optimal angle.The 500 will only input 3.5A maximum at 18 volts for 63 watts. Some of the excess power from the panel can be fed into a USB battery bank, charged directly from the panel while also charging a 500. This will allow you to harvest as much as 63 + 15 = 78 watts.If this panel is used to charge a larger device, such as the power station, then its full output potential can be realized.

Having some experience and some training with solar, I like what I saw. What I most appreciated was your calculation of "break even" time.

I really appreciate that you called this a "what we did," so many people act as if they are "experts" on videos and clearly are not. That said I think you did a good job. We don't full time (yet) but I will be very interested to see what your cost vs benefit works out to be.

There are many levels of EXPERTISE. Many who sell their services "professionlly" are sure as hell not Experts. On the other hand if you have a reasonable understanding of electricity and some mechanical sense and skill darn near anyone can install a decent RV solar system. My friend that my wife and I RV with a bunch and I have installed at least two systems on each of our own rigs and have installed systems on at least seven RVs in our club. We are pretty much EXPERTS at it on top of my lifetime of DYI and his 45 years in the RV service industry. We may even be EXPERTS but I know for sure I would not have jumped in on the system as hefty as those guys installed so MAYBE IT IS JUST WHAT THEY DID, but they prepared themselves and did an EXPERT JOB.

Congratulations on going solar! As you said this opens up a limitless list of possibilities to expand your RV adventures. Of course I will be looking forward to the videos of those adventures. Thanks for the information. The video shows that RV'rs are a special breed of folks!

@@ericdee6802 Wait...what other hazard would it be?

Congrats, that's a good price for a system that size! That's good work too. I've seen pro installs that weren't that clean. Last year I installed phase 1 of my planned 2 part solar system on my MH. The first small phase was 12v, and the next big phase in a couple years will be 48v (to run a 48v DC heat pump and inverter). In phase one I installed 620 watts of solar on the side of my RV for about $1,600 for every component, doing all the labor by myself. This included 2 - GC-2 batteries, 2 - 320w panels, a 600w PSW inverter, 50A MPPT controller, wiring and all hardware, including 2 gas struts to lift the array to the desired angle. This leaves the roof open to rack 9 - 320+ watt panels above the AC units to charge 3 - 48v SimpliPhi batteries (11.4kw total) which will power the heat pump and 3,000w inverter. This system should cost in the $13-14k range including a $2k heatpump and $8k in batteries. It's expensive, but it will allow complete off grid freedom with temperature control both winter and summer. I'm projecting a 4-5 year payback on the second phase. The small one has already paid for itself in the CG fees saved in just 5 months of boondocking last year.
