Hello All--
DH and I are looking into installing Solar Panels on the coach. I have lots of questions and probably have questions I don't even know I need to ask.
1. Does anyone have any experience with running the coach (40' Bounder Turbo Diesel) almost exclusively on the solar power?
2. How much / many do we need?
3. How are they installed?
4. We have a 2000 watt Xantrex converter...do we need an additional one or a bigger one??
5. We have 6 6-volt batteries...do we need more?
6. Can we run the AC on stored solar power?? Even we can only run 1 at a time...can it be done?
7. What about other energy efficient stratgies: can we add any/more insulation between the 'walls' of the coach?
8. What is the best way to add insulation in and around the coach?
9. Does anyone have any other ideas as to how to make the coach more energy efficient?
Thanks to all who have any ideas!!
