Installing solar panels on roof
#1

I am looking to install (eventually) 3 or more solar panels (>300watt each) on the roof of our coach.  Has anyone done this on the Newell?  What are the caveats to watch out for.

Are you doing the install yourself, or having it professionally done?  Do you want them mounted so they can be tilted to take maximum advantage of the sun especially in the winter when the sun in lower in the horizon?

I would do it myself so that means it would be a professional installation :-)
I like to do this type of stuff so I learn and know the system as it is installed plus most installers just throw the wiring all over the place and I like nice, straight lines...

Do you intend to be able to 'tilt' your panels?
