Solar Panel Install on rear shell
I just finished installing our Solar Panels on our Nu2Us '04 2720SL.
This model has the batteries stored in the rear compartment. It makes the panel installation easy. Battery servicing......not so easy...
I didn't get fancy with tilting or swiveling brackets and all that. Simply pop-riveted "L" brackets to the panel then pop-riveted them to the roof using a super adhesive double-sided tape to avoid leaks.
I separated the panels 12" so that caulking that center roof molding wouldn't be an issue.
The electrical wire was easily concealed with a cool snap-together conduit kit that has a self-adhesive backing. It sticks like nothing I've ever seen before.
The wire run was short and tidy. Just drilled a hole up through the floor into the rear compartment.
BTW.......The weight made very little difference in lifting the roof.
