Solar panel on car roof rack.

With this type of installation the solar panels are typically six to eight inches above the existing roof rack. This can be done by installing roof racks to your vehicle. The panel goes over the top of mounted maxtrax but still allows your to access them. A waterproof regulator can be attached to the rear of the panel or a non waterproof standard or lcd regulator can be mounted inside the vehicle.

These two solar panels will generate electricity harvested from the power of the sun and the energy that these two panels create will be passed through a series of adapter cables to your solar charge controller. First was adding two more solar panels 140 watts each on the roof racks and a second solar controller. Mounting a solar panel in this fashion subjects the solar panel to wind thus potentially stressing the panel mounts and wiring. The solar panel mounts are bolted onto the rack so we can swap in new brackets if we want to upgrade our panels or remove them completely and have a cargo rack.

Attaching a solar panel to a vehicle is becoming more popular.
