Uhg. Great deal. but it's max 1 piece per shopper. I just measured the roof of my minivan and these panels being 49" x 30" could squeeze 4 of them on top but can only buy one panel at this price. I have 4 100 watt panels right now but would love to double up my PV intake.

I ordered a 2 pack of the shadowflux panels last night. A little more expensive than this listing at $278 with tax. Waiting to see if the 15% cashback clears which will take another ~$38 off. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32...51703.html

Thanks. I just checked them out but can't seem to find the dimensions. These Renogy panels are 49.7 x 30.1 and I dont have a single 1/4" to spare on the 49.7" length but could be up to 1 1/2" off on the 30.1"

The renogy site lists the shadowflux panels as the same size.

But what do you do with these by putting on the mini van, how do you use the generated power? installation steps etc, pls help me educate on this

Not OC, but I've helped set up off-grid systems that just charge arrays of LiFePO4 batteries. Then you only need an inverter on one end if you want to plug in AC stuff.

1 x 200W = 2 x 100W panels. The higher watts means less amps but doesnt effect how you add watts together.
you probably meant to say the higher volts means less amps. A 200watt panel that out puts at 24v will output 2x the amps that a 100watt panel does if it is has 24v output. Amps x volts = VA (same as watts, providing you have 100% power factor). The advantage of even larger panels (say 400 watt) is they are also higher voltage, like 60 or 70, so less amps per watt. Also if you series the panels the volts go up but amps stay the same. You just need to be sure that your MPPT controller's rated input voltage is high enough to handle the extra voltage. There is an advantage to paralleling the panels in that if one is shaded, it doesn't cause the any unshaded ones to loose power output.

I have one of these and have been looking for another. Thanks.
