1. Fix panels with screws or adhesives
The first step in installing tile roof mounting bracket is mounting your RV panels. The process will differ depending on what type of panels you have. Rigid panels typically must be affixed to the roof with screws. flexible solar panel thin-film mounts are typically attached to the roof with an adhesive. Note that your roof membrane material will determine the type of adhesive required. (Because of this, many kits only supply the mounting hardware, not adhesive.)

Rigid poly or mono panels are usually placed on mounting brackets, here are some hot products to choose from:

The battery is wired between your power inverter and the charge controller.
Connect the Battery Cables to the Charge Controller.
Turn on the charge controller. It should now be able to measure the load of a battery.

Check the voltage going into the battery is the same as the solar charge controller reading states using the multimeter.
