I would appreciate any advise and recommendations from those of you using solar panels. What monitoring systems are you using and recommendations on inverters as to size and type ie. pure sine or modified. Also any experience tilting panels?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have two 75 watt BP panels on the roof mounted on a frame that can can
pivot either left or right. The panels go to a Trace C-40 controller.
Batteries are 4 X 125 amp AGM then through a 1000 WATT Heart
Inverter/Charger. I used this same equipment on a previous RV. I'll send you
a photo offline of the roof. I use three 24" standoffs if I want to tilt the
panels left or right depending on how we park out in the desert.

Thanks
