5 of 5 BP 485J Solar Panels March 13, 2011
Reviewer: Dean from Florida  
I have set up the two 85 watt panels as a portable solar system for my small RV.  They are NOT permanently mounted on the RV.   For portability, physical dimensions and weight were important.   The finished rig weighs about 36 lbs, including the 18-foot run of #10 wire and its connector.  The panels do not include any wiring, so I made up my own, connecting them in series with a "Y" harness.  The junction box on each one has a gasket and screws to seal the lid with.  HOWEVER, the knockouts on the sides through which you'll run your wiring, will need to be sealed.  I used duct seal putty to completely weatherproof them.  It fits into a space only 48" x 23" x 6" in the RV.  The controller and remote meter are permanently mounted inside the RV.  These panels do quite well in full sun and, with the MPPT controller, continue to produce decent power even with cloudiness or partial shade.  All in all, a great choice for small, off-grid applications such as this.
