Solar Panel For Roof

[andymarshall]

Has anyone got some sound advice on fitting a solar panel to a roof without drilling the roof as this scares me to death. Also what is the recommended wattage for a trickle charge, enough to maintain the battery through winter storage. The main concern being that my tracker will go into fault if the battery goes flat. I am not technically minded, is this a project beyond the realms of a numpty or is it doable? I cant find any company that fits solar panels to caravans, or am I looking in the wrong place?

I am also not technically minded, however I have wired up an 100 watt solar panel which is free standing , but I bought enough cable so that once staionary I can place solar onto the roof via the sun roof hi-ike (what ever its called) then watch the free energy !! simple really

If you only want the solar to keep battery and tracker charged while in storage, why dont you go for one of these.
we had one when our van was kept in storage, we put it in the front window. and never once in three years did we receive a call from Phantom. and we don't use the van from September to March
