In this video, I show how my original simple solar setup with foldable panels evolved into 400 Watt of fixed rigid panels on my Toyota Sienna roof. I explain why I abandoned the idea of building an automatic solar tracker—and how my less-than-perfect panel mounting unexpectedly turned out to be one of the smartest decisions in the build.
I break down how the Renogy charge controller intelligently charges your system from both solar and the alternator while you’re on the road.
I also share how I protect the starter battery in my power-hungry Sienna Limited — both while camping and off-season.
