New solar set up

Photos of a new solar setup: a 200W Renogy foldable solar blanket with a 30A MPPT controller. 

The MPPT controller is not waterproof. So I mounted it to a cutting board with hooks to hang it inside the tub while in use. I will disconnect it and store it in the TV while under tow. 

The solar blanket is secured along a line that is tied to each of the push handles and then runs along the curved top of the T@B. It functions like a pulley system to raise/lower the solar panel after it is attached to loops on the line using S hooks. You can see the line if you zoom in. 
The driveway test was a success. Field testing is next week! I’m very excited to see how much more efficient this setup will be in off season, off grid conditions. My old setup was a 100W Renogy suitcase solar with an integrated weatherproof controller.

How is it doing?

Nice! Thinking about doing same thing with my 2 Bluetti 120W folding solar panels. They have grommets on the ends so should be easy but want to use something that won't do anything to the pant when I pull them. How is it working for you so far?
