HOW TO FIT A SIMPLE SOLAR SET UP TO A VAN... fitting roof bars and wiring up solar panel.

How to fit a simple solar set up to a van, fitting roof bars and wiring up solar panel.

This is our simple diy system to get off grid solar power in our DIY campervan conversion, that turned out to be a bit of a van build nightmare!! Another build video to add to our van build series.
We had planned to make it changeable for the future so went with what was meant to be a super simple solar set up... perhaps it was the 32 degree heat but it certainly wasn't as simple as we had hoped!
In this video we fit the roof bars, the solar panel and the victron mppt charge controller.

It's a very long vlog for what turned out to be a longer than expected task but if you have found this video, or any of our van build series videos useful then please consider subscribing to see where we take it now we can travel a bit more freely again!
