new ETI solar panel
Jim,
Do you know whether or not the new solar panels are inter-changeable with the older, 95 Watt units (specifically in terms of mounting bracket locations)?

Hi: Zardoz... I believe the new panels are the same size only more efficient. Alf

This post contains important information from the factory about the operation of our refrigerators. Please let's keep it on that topic.
Could a moderator please start a new topic concerning the solar panels.
Thanks
Dave

The 95's are 20.8" x 40.8"

Jim,
and miss the opportunity to mod your solar .
I think there is room for a second panel on top of the 21

I believe they are installing the new panels on the rear on the new 19's and 5.0 TA, not sure about the 21's.
