Well do you have it mounted yet?

Or is this weekend going to be the day?

Final pictures would be nice. Then they can be shown to others considering such a project.

Hey, sorry, I've been on the road for the past couple weeks.

The solar panel is working out perfectly! I'm actually kind of laughing at myself for worrying about getting enough power. With my combination of the 295W panel plus the blue sky controller and AGM batteries, I haven't even seen it go below 90% capacity yet.

I've been charging my cell phone & laptop and running my maxxair fan 24/7 for the past 2 weeks, and haven't plugged in once yet.

I'll be adding more electricity consuming devices eventually such as a vornado fan and a LED TV, so I'll see how that goes later on.

I'll make sure to take pictures of my mounting job and post them in the next few days.

Have fun camping - Pictures can wait for when you have more free time!

Good luck!

Yes I loved solar once I had it, and highly recommend it to everyone! It is almost as popular as retirement!
