How's it working Oscar?

I have not plugged in since they finished the install.  We are having our first "Winter Storm" (rain) here in Aguanga, CA, the last few days so with the clouds and not much sun I am down to 75% SOC.  We are supposed to get about 4 days of sunshine starting tomorrow and that should get me back up to 100% SOC before the next storm hits starting next Tuesday.  Sure does seem nice not having to use any shore power with an all electric coach!  Now that the days are getting shorter and the angle of the sun is lower I use the diesel mode in the AquaHot.  When the sun shines more and is at a higher angle I will go back to using electric for heating the water and the coach.  I am down to between 10-11 kilowatt hours of solar production a day (when the sun is out).

Very impressive, 3300 watts on a 38 ft coach will probably set a record.
That's a healthy size! For total crazy a friend of ours has an older Prevost (AC not on roof) he is kinda a mad scientist guy..6000W on the Roof and a Battery Bank out of a Tesla...It's a Beast. Did it all himself and built a custom roof rack out of 80/20...WOW is what I said

Sounds like an awesome system!  I am sure he is enjoying his as much as I enjoy mine.

Always fun to hear what others have done.

Ran out of room on coach roof, so put 5200 watts of solar on the S&B roof.  21 kwh leaf battery [48 volts], backup for house incase of power outage. But now I use it to recharge my Tesla every other day with it.
