Now you're just trolling. Covering every last detail would be way too much information to post here. Should I have suggested a wire gauge to use without knowing specifics, too?

There are tons of resources for DIY solar setups for people to study in order to determine what they need for their use case.

This kind of hostility to productive/helpful posts has a chilling effect and makes people not want to help here.

I read that as "BougieRV" and imagined about 30 LED strips down the side of a travel trailer Smilie

The best is what will work best with your solar generator and what will fit best on your vans roof. BougeRV has some great hardware for rooftop panels that will tilt up to get better sun.
Well I'm looking to modify a Mercedes Sprinter van, and I want to be able to generate enough power to run a gaming PC with one monitor, a small electric water heater, and a roof mounted AC unit. All lighting will be LED of course.

You have way more research to do than asking about a panel on Slickdeals... I'd suggest that the panel is the least important/expensive part of the setup you'll need.

You will definitely need a lot of batteries and as many panels to support it as possible. Heating and cooling things are probably the biggest energy usage. Fridges aren't too bad, usually they pull the most watts starting but after that they are usually pretty efficient.

You'll have to look at the energy usage of the a/c and tankless but my guess is your using at least 600 watts minimum.

Do you worry about damaging your battery without a solar charge controller or don't you care?
You would want a charge controller, yes. I can't touch on every single detail in every single post lol

9BB model more efficient in partial shade
Cool, I also read that it Heats up a little bit less. So for just a slight increase it seems pretty good value.

I thought that these were designed to plug directly into the battery systems that are sold. Do you really need a controller in between them?

Depends on your "battery system" - if it's something like an Ecoflow or Bluetti unit that can take solar input, they already have a charge controller onboard.

If you want to charge a plain 12/24/48V lead acid or lithium battery, then you need a charge controller.

Hmmm. 180 watts is great at this price but I feel like when maximizing roof space atleast a 200 watt panel is the move.

Seems an important detail to leave out not to mention that a MPPT can cost as much as the solar panel thus doubling the cost.

LMAO. There are tons of variables when to comes to solar power, and it's all situational. Can't cover them all, and really... people need to do their own research rather than lean on advice on slickdeals so much.

As you can see in my last post above, whether you need a separate charge controller depends on what you're intending to use these panels with.

If you are charging a battery, you need a charge controller.

But being flippant isn't a good look.

It isn't.
Notice the words "when on sale".
