2 of 4 solar panels installed

I've successfully installed the 2nd solar panel on the roof of the trailer.

Two solar panels successfully mounted. 
Take a look at the closeup the first one is already quite dirty.
New and old panels side by side.
Nothing that a hose can't fix...

With the second panel the voltage was up to 60V and there was a peak of 282Watts and form 8am to night it gathered 77Ah and 1.05 kWh. And had reached the float charge state.

Solar power x4

Now that one is shown to be working I can fill up the roof of the trailer. So we had a small delivery at work today. 

The small UPS truck delivering to OSRF

The solar panels getting unloaded. 

3 more panels to keep the lights on much brighter. 

The solar panels delivered

And stored in the trailer
All I need to do is get some angle iron and I can strap these to the roof too.
