Finally got home and the first thing I'm doing is install the new solar panels. They came from Renogy Solar the day before we rolled out of town. They are 100 watt panels. Un-packed them and tested them out in the sun for 22.5 volts.
Mounting tabs came with the kit. This kit must of been done on a Monday because one of the bolt bags didn't have any nuts. I don't have any 10mm nuts in the shop so, I changed them out to 1/4''.
Bolted the tabs to the panel with lock washers and Lock-tite. There are two mounting holes in each mounting tab, for the roof. Going to use 1/4" butterfly bolts to hold the panels to the roof. A little over kill but, I don't want them flying off while moving down the road. Will get the panels mounted tomorrow.

A few more parts that came in the kit. More on this later.
