I will post some pics of what I have , If I ever get the garage cleaned out I plan on redoing the system and make it a bit neater, as I threw this up in a hurry , yeah I have one on top of the pop up camper to keep that battery charged too, they work great, that panel I got off ebay it was from a VW that came over on a boat to keep the battery up, dealers will get those , might chkwith a vw dealer and see if you can pick them up there. they are obdII units plugs right in

I know Pocono Raceway up by Clinton's and my house has an entire field dedicated to solar panels, but I have not dealt with them personally.

after getting a new roof over last summer I have not gotten around to putting these back up, when my other project comes around will be a overhang or sloped roof over part of the driveway to keep the camper under, I will then put the panels back up on that structure and leave the roof hole free lol

oh the 600 watt inverter powers the stereo or hand tools I use at the bench and overhead light at the bench the led and cfl 12 volt bulbs on the ceiling are tied to a battery. I have not re-connected the grid tie inverter yet. gotta clean up the garage it is a total mess right now too many projects goin on
