200W Solar Panel Reinstall on Backbone System – What I Changed This Time

#solarpanelsetup #200wsolar #backbonesystem #overlandpower #pajerobuild

Hi guys, welcome back! Or if you’re new to the channel, welcome.

In this video, I’m reinstalling my original 200W solar panel from my old roof setup and mounting it onto my new backbone system.

This isn’t a new panel or a sponsored rebuild — it’s proven gear that’s already done the kilometres, now reinstalled properly on a stronger, cleaner backbone setup that suits touring and off-grid travel.

You’ll also see how the solar panel integrates alongside my backbone system and OpenRoad awning, with a focus on sensible placement, airflow, clearance, and keeping roof weight under control.

✅ What this video covers:
✅ Reinstalling an existing 200W solar panel onto a backbone system
✅ Mounting position, airflow and clearance considerations
✅ Integrating solar alongside an awning setup
✅ Roof weight and load considerations
✅ Why reusing proven gear makes sense
