I have (2) 75 Watt Panels from BP Solar with mounts that let me attach them right to the roof on my 5ver... Had an ocean going sailboat for 11 years with the same setup (150 Watts). Do your homework as this is one arena where "you may get what you pay for".... Check panel warranties. You'd be surprised at the spread. My panels were chosen due to their stamina in a marine environment so I'm reasonably certain they will be with me for years to come. Oversize your charge controller to allow for adding additional panels later (Its easy to do as they are linked from panel to panel. Now, routing the wire below...... THATS another story but lets just say that I had to get VERY creative

Hope this has helped and Good Luck!!
