SOLAR SETUP For Your 4x4 | OFFGRID - CAMPING - OVERLAND | Renogy Install Review

#overlanding #camping #solar #offroad #offgrid #nissanfrontier #nissan #4x4 #vanlife
Hi everyone! If you're like me, and enjoy outdoor adventures using your truck, then this video may be helpful, I'll talk you through my simple off grid solar power setup, using Renogy gear.
I've had this mod on the Nissan Frontier (Navara) for over a year now, so have been able to get an idea of how this particular system performs.
The setup includes, the Renogy Black Division 100w Panel, 12v 100ah Lithium Pro Battery, 20a Rover MPPT charge controller and BT-1 Module for the DC Home app.
For my power demands either while working and overlanding/camping, the system has worked very well so far, and would recommend this mod if you have a similar sized truck or off grid power needs.
(Please remember when installing any electrical system, including 12v solar power, to follow the installation instructions closely, and include fuses to all products and accessories)
Many thanks for watching, and please remember to subscribe, like and share!

Very nice install! The solar panel on the roof blends in great 👌

Many thanks! I like, how low profile it is, but still does a good job 👍

Great install on your Frontier! Thanks for sharing the battery setting recommendations for the Renogy Rover 👌

@@StevenWashington-x7q BIG thanks for your comment Steven, glad this helped you! All the best with your system 👍

When using the Renogy DC Home app, advanced battery parameters can be set, such as boost duration, by going into settings 👍

Tidy looking install, especially the controller and power outlets 👍 You mentioned cloud where you are, so how does it perform in winter time? Thanks for sharing

[@The4x4WindowCleaner]

Appreciate your comment, thanks! The solar install has been through 1 winter so far. There were a couple of days and nights when it was not only cloudy, but cold, negative degrees. I’d been using the system for my work and noticed a low battery power notification on the app. So I connected the battery up to a lithium charger that got it up to 100%. I’ve got a feeling the cold also had an effect on the battery as well as lack of sunlight. Other than that it’s been running good! Have to wait and see how the winter goes this year.

@@The4x4WindowCleaner Thanks for your reply, that’s good to know 👍

Thanks for sharing installation…helpful to know how this performs with lots of cloudy weather 👌

[@PureViewWindowCleaning]

Nice setup on your rig. MPPT far better than PWM. Lots of cloud in winter so good call.

[@The4x4WindowCleaner]

BIG thanks @@PureViewWindowCleaning and totally agree!

Great simple setup on your truck. I’m sure the power in topper is right useful!?!

[@The4x4WindowCleaner]

@@MattPeters-t7v Thanks, glad you like it! It works great for my simple needs. If you tour and camp like I do then I’d recommend a solar install 👌

[@MaxAnderson-x1t]

Thanks for sharing this…just wanted to ask…when you have time to reply…what you used for fixing panel down?

[@The4x4WindowCleaner]

@@MaxAnderson-x1t Thanks for your comment. I used a combo of 3M double sided tape and black Sikaflex 522, held up great. The panel is very flexible, and went down well over some curved ridges on truck roof 👌
