1 Year Review - 200-Watt HQST (Renogy) RV Solar Panels

- This video is a 1-year review of a DIY installation of a 200-Watt HQST (Renogy) RV Solar Panel Kit on my camping trailer. It was a great decision to install this system myself, as it was quite affordable ($400) and really not very difficult. I also replaced my incandescent light bulbs with 12 SMD LED bulbs, which are about 9 times as efficient. Check out the two videos below to find out more. Thanks for watching!

Nice job, and thanks for posting! Glad all is still working well for you. I imagine you simply used the same batteries your RV came with. Have you thought of Lithium Lifepo4?
When I bought the trailer, it had junk 12V deep cycle batteries. I upgraded to two 6V Costco golf cart batteries in series. I think they work much better and I imagine that this solar system will extend their life. Once they do finally kick the bucket, I definitely will consider lithium. They are lighter and last much longer. Thanks for watching!
Good morning. Just watched this. I have a Dodge Grand Caravan that I travel with. I am planning to upgrade to one of the DC powered refrigerator/cooler style boxes. I read they draw about 30 watts when compressor is on. I have a 300w pure sinewave Rockpals battery that I use on the road now. As this has a solar input and can be charged with solar, I thought about just putting a solar panel on top of my van to let it charge the Rockpals. I noted you have two batteries on your RV and you state that they run everything. Given my limited requirements, I wonder if I could either use the Rockpals or a single battery with a charge controller installed in line. What size are the batteries you use in your video?
I'm using two 6-volt Costco golf cart batteries in series to make 12V. Here are the specs www.costco.com/interstate-6-volt-golf-cart-battery.product.100476406.html
I'm guessing one 12v battery would keep your fridge going with the solar panel. Good luck.
I can't figure out why no one is using the 200-watt panels. Were they not shipping at the time or is there some other reason?
I just installed 200W panels on my sister-in-laws trailer. She has an inverter, so she needed the extra power.
Greetings, I'm a little confused. Are they Renogy panels or HQST?
The brand is HQST, but they seem to be identical to Renogy. Some of the boxes said Renogy.
Did the batteries come with the system? Or did u buy them separately
Got them separately. For lead acid I prefer the 6V golf cart batteries from Costco. I put two in series.
What type of batteries did you use ?
Two 6V golf cart batteries in series.
