I'm looking to install a few solar panels in my RV and want to know how well they will work together. Here are the ones I'm considering:

* [Link to Solar Panel 2](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DT6TT8SH/)
* [Link to Solar Panel 3](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DG8MLDST/)
I have a few specific questions:
1. Can these panels handle vibrations well?
2. What kind of performance can I expect when running an A/C unit, refrigerator, a computer (850w), espresso machine, and some low-wattage devices all at once? How long will they last without sun?
3. I've read up on how to size the wiring for solar panels, but I'm still a bit confused about volts and amps with this MPPT setup. Will everything wire up smoothly? Do I need to use both MPPTs?

1. They should work well together, but Sungoldpower isn't always seen as top tier. If you’re going that route, consider direct options from their site for better quality.
2. Performance really hinges on your A/C unit. It’s tough to give a definitive answer without knowing daily consumption. Just keep an eye on your daily use to figure it out.
3. Using strings of 4 might be close to the minimum voltage for the MPPT. A single string should perform better unless you're worried about shading.
Thanks for the clarification about the strings! So if I do one string, that’s series wiring, right? I feel like that’s where I’m most confused.
I ran an analysis on the Sungoldpower solar panels you're considering. Here’s what I found:
- **Product Name**: SUNGOLDPOWER 8PCS 500 Watt Monocrystalline Solar Panel
- **Rating**: 4.0 out of 5
- **Fakespot Grade**: D (which might be a concern)
Keep in mind this analysis focuses on the authenticity of the reviews, not the product quality. You can check the [Fakespot link](https://fakespot.com/product/sungoldpower-8pcs-500-watt-monocrystalline-solar-panel-ul61730-11bb-grade-a-cell-black-ip68-for-12v-24v-48vdc-rv-home-farms-parking-lot-marine-on-off-grid-system-4000w) for more details about buyer experiences and seller reliability.
I appreciate the insight! I've heard mixed things about Sungoldpower, but they're cost-effective. Do you have any suggestions for better quality brands that won't break the bank?
