Installing and Wiring Solar Panels on Our Bus Conversion
In this video we wire up 6 400 watt solar panels on our skoolie’bus conversion which we wired 2 in series, and 3 in parallel to create a 2400 watt bank of panels. Full disclosure after filming this video we actually added 2 more panels, bringing the total to 8 panels and 3200 watts. Here… Continue reading Installing and Wiring Solar Panels on Our Bus Conversion
