Mounting Renogy 200 watt solar panels

HOW TO Exterior Mods
1

I just replaced 2 x 100 watt jackery solar panels with 2 x 200 watt Renogy solar panels on my GFC V2. The renogy brackets don’t quite fit on the Beef Bars, so i fabricated some brackets using 18 gauge metal - had to get a $50 metal brake off of amazon. Having a drill press and metal drill bit helped. Super simple wiring - Renogy folks were great and provided a diagram to help. Used some plastic pieces that fit in the GFC track to zip tie the cables. Even though it’s an overcast day, getting 150-200 watts.
