Installing Renogy 400 Watt Solar Panels and DIY Solar Roof Rack On Our Van – Van Build Ep 26

The 26th episode of our van build/conversion series showcases how we installed 4 – 100 Watt Renogy Solar Panels and a DIY Solar Roof Rack on the roof of our Sprinter Van. We also connected the panels to the Renogy Rover 40Amp Solar Charge Controller and to our 100Ah Battle Born Lithium Battery.
