After two years on a trip my solarpanel died on me. Not that funne when it is very warm.
So, a new one needed to come.
The old one was a thing one that was glued on the top of the trailer. And that caused the problem.
It could get rid of the heat.

So, now I had one old 80W panel and I bought a second 80W panel So I thought they would be the same.
Unfortunally, no.
So, in the near future I will buy another new 80W panel, just for the looks.

As i needed to have about 3cm of clearance under the panels, I had to make a kind of rack that would hold it all.
So, without any further delay, here are some pictures of my build

So I did bend some tubes

Drilled some holes for making the mounts for the tubes.

And I made the whole rack so it could be dissasembled in pieces

And now it is almost ready, just some minor details has to be done.
