Hmm, not a bad idea. I don't know if I would like the back not viewable via my rear view mirror though. Maybe a camera?
The panel is 70 watts. It actually fully charged the battery from 11:30 to 3:30, and it was cloudy. It is a Mono-crystalline panel so it has better performance on cloudy days and indirect sunlight.
I thought about removing the rood rack and mounting the panel right on the top of the roof. But, I want to make all these mods removable. Though I love driving this junker van for some reason, maybe all the space in the cab, I would like to find a lighter vehicle like a GEO or the like.
This van is more or less a ginny pig for me. BUT... I LOVE proving people wrong!
