I've just ordered a 100w solar panel + charge controller that I am planning to mount between the roof rails on my 1998 Jeep XJ. The panel should be enough to run an Indel B 51qt fridge indefinately. It will be charging the main group 34 Odyssey battery and if that gets full, it will top up the second battery.
The panel is 40" tall and I measure the roof rails to be 45.5" apart so I will need to do a little fabricating, but the goal is to make it sit as low as possible between the rails. I haven't been able to find examples of this size panel on an XJ so I will try to take a useful amount of pictures.
This is in anticipation of our Death Valley trip this winter. This will be our longest trip to date as we are leaving from Maine.
Previously my post count wasn't high enough to include offsite images. Once it is I can start including pictures from past trips and pics of the Jeep.
