What are the specs on that panel. Voc?Installed my little 200w, nominal, system, yesterday. Charges my 1kWh Bluetti in the frunk. When my cap comes, I'll think about adding panels to the top.
Very cool looking. @CT_AZ_4x4 is running his winch with one of those. Itās a ludicrously cool setup I wish I had a need forInstalled my little 200w, nominal, system, yesterday. Charges my 1kWh Bluetti in the frunk. When my cap comes, I'll think about adding panels to the top.
What do you guys think? Does cyberbandit need this more than a racing stripe on the hood?Installed my little 200w, nominal, system, yesterday. Charges my 1kWh Bluetti in the frunk. When my cap comes, I'll think about adding panels to the top.
Yes.
Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to show us your updates. I have taken several of your ideas and implemented them on my truck. Hereās another option for the 400watt panel that covers the CT windshield. Plus, it folds up small and only weights 17lbs.With 9.7 kWh of auxiliary battery storage in my Cybertruck including two EcoFlow Delta Pros (3.6 kWh each) and my DIY solar system (2.5 kWh), I'm able to extend off road range by as much as 20 miles. But recharging these batteries once depleted took far too long from one 420W REC Pure Alpha 2 solar panel mounted on the roof top tent. My solution was to add EcoFlow's 400W portable solar panel whenever camping for a couple of nights on the trail. I mount the second panel on the truck over the windshield and frunk lid and point the truck SE:
This morning at 10am on a clear sunny day I'm generating 600W with the panels at a less than optimal angle to the sun. I'm essentially doubling my energy production. On a sunny day in Arizona in the fall or spring, I estimate it will take a day to recharge the on-board batteries under optimal conditions. This energy can then be transferred to the truck's battery charging at 240V and 30A from the Delta Pros using the mobile connector for an increase of 5 - 7% SoC and another 15 to 20 miles of range depending on driving efficiency.
The removable solar panel folds up to 41" x 24" 40 lb package to fit nicely against the back wall of the vault. It takes just 10 minutes for me to deploy it once the vault is unloaded at the campsite. I place three 1" x 1" lengths of wood under the panels to raise them off the glass and to allow some air ventilation beneath the panels which can get very hot. The portable panel's grommets fit over pegs in the wood standoffs and the whole assembly is secured to the truck with four bungee cords in case the wind picks up. The lower panel flips up and down when the frunk is opened and closed.
A side benefit is the shade that the panels provide to keep the cabin from getting excessively hot.
Cool. Does it have loops to bungle to?Awesome! Thanks so much for taking the time to show us your updates. I have taken several of your ideas and implemented them on my truck. Hereās another option for the 400watt panel that covers the CT windshield. Plus, it folds up small and only weights 17lbs.
