Installing Solar Panels on a Van | Mercedes Sprinter Van Conversion #13

Installing solar panels on a van is one of the most common methods of generating power for off grid living and is essential for most van lifers. In this video, I'll show you how I installed my 3 x 175w Solar Panels from Renogy.

This series has now moved to the new Matt's Van Channel!

_________________________________________________________________

My name is Matt Estlea, I'm a 23 year old Woodworker from Basingstoke in England and my aim is to make your woodworking less s***.

I come from 5 years tuition at Rycotewood Furniture Centre with a further 1 year working as an Artist in Residence at the Sylva Foundation. I now teach City and Guilds Furniture Making at Rycotewood as of September 2018.

I also had 5 years of experience working at Axminster Tools and Machinery where I helped customers with purchasing tools, demonstrated in stores and events, and gained extensive knowledge about a variety of tools and brands.

During the week, I film woodworking projects, tutorials, reviews and a viewer favourite 'Tool Duel' where I compare two competitive manufacturers tools against one another to find out which is best.

I like to have a laugh and my videos are quite fast paced BUT you will learn a lot, I assure you.

Lets go make a mess.
