People are asking

How much solar do I need for my campervan?

A typical weekend setup with a compressor fridge, lights and device charging runs well on 170-200W, while full-time off-grid living usually calls for 300W or more. Work out your daily amp-hour usage and size the array to replace it with New Zealand's average sun hours in mind.

Do I need a solar controller?

Yes - panels should never be connected directly to a battery. An MPPT controller is recommended as it extracts noticeably more power than a PWM unit, particularly in cooler weather and low light.

How do I mount a fixed solar panel on my van roof?

Fixed glass panels are typically mounted on aluminium brackets bonded and/or screwed to the roof, with a quality adhesive sealant on every fixing and cable entry. Run the cabling through a waterproof gland to your solar controller.
