This video covers my installation of four LightLeaf 140W gLeaf solar panels on my Mercedes Sprinter camper van. My old array was built out of three 200W rigid panels, and by swapping out for the LightLeaf panels I saved over 40 lbs of weight! If you'd like to learn all about their products visit https://www.lightleafsolar.com

If you are using thread locker on any of the fasteners to secure the panels make sure to use Loctite 425. Many common threadlockers are not compatible with polycarbonate (the outer layer)
