A truck camper roof usually has room for two to three 200W panels, and that’s enough to keep a 12V fridge, lights, a fan and phones charged indefinitely in good sun. The panels I use for these examples are BougeRV’s Arch Pro 200W flexible panels. BougeRV rates each one at 31.1V Vmp and 36.4V Voc, […]
