SOLAR PANEL REPLACEMENT VW T6 CALIFORNIA | Solar Camper Solutions solar panel kit

We replace the faulty 100W solar panel on our VW T6 California Ocean campervan.
For a while, it has been failing to charge properly. We checked as many components and connections as possible, and concluded that it must be the panel itself that had a fault.
Luckily the van's previous owner had provided us with all its paperwork, so we knew where the existing panel came from. A quick email conversation with the supplier (Solar Camper Solutions), describing the symptoms, confirmed that the likelihood was a fault with the panel, which had been working brilliantly for 5 or 6 years.
We bought a new panel from them, and they helpfully provided a discount*, which meant it cost around the same as the original panel. It arrived quickly and well packaged.
We like this system as it doesn't involve making any holes to the van's roof. It simply fits onto the metal track already on the roof, so leaves no damage to the van when removed, as you'll see in the video - a quick wipe over and the roof is as good as new.
The new panel simply bolts onto the track with the new fittings supplied, and connects into the existing wiring. Laying the cable neatly is the most fiddly part of the job.
This video is not sponsored by Solar Camper Solutions and we haven't received any discount or promotion associated with this video (*the discount we received was a gesture of goodwill as our van, if not us ourselves, was a repeat customer, and they were not aware we would be making this video). However, we're really pleased with the customer service and product, and as a result would recommend them.
