Solar panel size

[Yachtiebob]

Hi I have just bought a 2021 Pilote 740 Evidence. It has come with a solar panel that is riveted to the mount. I was wondering if they come with this from Pilote and if so does anyone know the wattage. I know I could drill the rivets out and check but it’s a bit high for me on my ladders!
Thanks for any information.

Thank you I’ll keep researching.

You will be able to get an idea if measure it's length and width.. either from the knowledge of members or by comparing to on line sellers adverts

Dimensions are a good indicator or slide a phone underneath on video mode and read the label?

The solar panel is standard on a Pilote Evidence and is 100w, also the solar controller can cope with 200w.

So not a lot of use then

I repositioned the 100w to the centre of the van then add two 200w panels one each side towards the rear.

Thank you all so much for all your help, think I’m going to upgrade as big as the roof will allow. The next thing to find is the charge controller to upgrade/change.
All new to me and learning every day.
