Solar energy, as a green energy source with large capacity and strong compatibility, can be matched with most electrical devices in the market and is deeply loved by car owners.

It is particularly suitable for retrofitting RVs or self driving vehicles. In this convenient era, traveling is not difficult. So, do you know how to choose a solar panel based on your vehicle body and usage? Here is for your reference:

At present, no matter what model, the car body itself is irregular. In order to be beautiful, reduce wind resistance, and improve the comfort of the driving experience, the design is mostly streamline or spindle type.

Therefore, this problem must be considered when installing solar panels.
We recommend monocrystalline silicon flexible solar panels. This product has good bending resistance and flexibility, can withstand certain bending, and can be installed on curved surfaces; Made of high-performance monocrystalline silicon, it has good heat dissipation, weather resistance, corrosion resistance, and durability;

The photoelectric conversion efficiency is high, with a conversion efficiency of over 21%. Considering the excellent performance of monocrystalline silicon flexible solar panels, it is the first choice for retrofitting RVs or self driving vehicles.

Just choosing a product that meets your own needs is not enough, and the installation process will also make many travelers difficult. Here we will solve it for you together.

The installation process of solar panels is simple, you only need to follow the steps:

First, paste

Determine the installation position before pasting, select a special high-temperature resistant and strong adhesive 3M double-sided foam adhesive to stick on the back of the solar panel, and then flip it over to the roof to determine the installation position.

Secondly, paste again

Paste with special sealing silicone for solar energy (note: the special sealing silicone for solar energy has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, aging resistance, etc., which can make the paste more firm).

Once again, the wiring process

After completing the above steps, the next step is to start wiring. It is necessary to introduce the power transmission line from the roof into the car. Depending on the vehicle model, it is usually possible to enter the line from a gap on the window adhesive edge outside the car (if possible, it can also be entered through the sunroof, trunk, or engine compartment).

Finally, connect the battery

That is the most important step, which is the connection to the battery. There are two ways to start: one is to directly connect to the battery in the engine compartment, and the other is to connect to the battery through the car’s cigarette lighter.

The latter has a drawback, which is that due to the car key being turned off and powered off, it may occasionally cause a power outage. The final installation is completed by connecting the battery to other equipment in the car that needs power supply.

The above is the roof installation method for car mounted solar panels. Some people may ask, since the roof can be installed, what should be done for interior installation? Compared to the installation method of the roof, the installation inside the car is simpler.

Under the condition of not affecting safe driving, the front and rear windshields can usually be installed, fixed on the base with a long strip of board, and the rear windshield can be directly placed on the dashboard. As for wiring and connecting the battery to the roof, it is the same.

Special reminder: The installation of solar panels in the car is far less efficient than rooftop installation due to their separation from the windshield. Therefore, caution should be exercised in installation.

Considering that some travel clubs are equipped with controllers, it should be noted that the positive and negative poles of the solar panel should be correctly connected to the photovoltaic positive and negative ports of the controller, and then connected from the output battery port of the controller to the positive and negative poles of the battery (the controller should be installed by connecting the battery first and then the solar panel).
