RV Solar

Just FYI for those looking at RV solar, you can pick up used 250W Trina panels in good condition from SanTan Solar in Gilbert, AZ for around $66/ea, they have other panels too.  This pricing is for local pickup, if you need shipping it is significantly more.  They also have an Epever 40A mppt solar charger for $120 (carry Victron mppt controllers as well but cost you significantly more).

500W system would only cost you around $265 plus the hardware, wiring, and (2) breakers.  Maybe $350-400 for it all if you can install yourself.  1000W system wouldn't cost you much more.

Seems like very fair pricing.

Nice!! Lucky zonies. 

Do you or anyone know much about that brand and what makes them good? At some point i want to add panels. Currently have a single 150w panel at 18v.

Good deal. Might have my son stop by next time he's in Phoenix and grab a system for his toy hauler.

They had used Sunpower E-327 panels for a while, but those are no longer in stock.  Just finished installing my system today using 2 of those panels.  Was putting out over 300 watts at 3:00 on one of the worst days of the year for sun angle.
