Tab 400 2025 Solar Panels- Sunflex Si 310 watt panels
So long story short found the real reason why I ran out of power while having my refrigerator on for three day prior to going on vacation . I took it to Blue Compass in Henderson Nevada and was told after a month that nothing was wrong with my solar system. I took it home and hauled it to MEL trailer and had them install a DC to DC Victron charger installed. While testing MEL trailer shop found the rear panel was not charging at all and the front was producing only 64.4 wats when cold and turned off when warm. 😳
I discovered from here and other web sites that others were experiencing the same issues with different levels of severity. Thank goodness the panels did not burn through into the roof. John Schilling from San Diego states it would have needed to be sent back to NuCamp to be repaired . As it is, to remove those panels is labor intensive and you have to do it from a scaffolding platform since you cannot get on the roof physically !
Now to wait for the outcome of what NuCamp will do. I have been told to seek legal counsel since Blue Compass sat on my trailer and did absolutely nothing. The only person that was helpful was Troy Willet- who is their parts department director . The first 4 pictures are of the rear panel.
The next 4 pictures are of the front panel
It produces 64 watts until it warms up then shuts off and produces nothing.
To say I am angry with Blue Compass of Henderson Nevada who sat on it for a hole month and told me there was nothing wrong with my trailer is an understatement !

So followup today (07-13-2026). Spoke with Mike from Warranty this morning and Sounds like MEL is a go to repair the solar Panels and the railing that blew off on the way back from Vegas, Nevada. Now they just need to reach out to MEL trailer to send the solar panels and agree on the warranty repair cost. MEL has told me they are ready to go to do the repairs necessary .
I am so ready to take it out and do some camping!! I have a trip planned out to June Lake Loop that sits between Mammoth Mountain and June Mountain come August!!

Hello @SavvyNurseCamper I replied to @GordoB 's comment on another thread but looks like I'm having the same issue. I also have the 2025 tab 400, black canyon edition with 600w solar panels. My panels stop producing voltage when it gets considerably hot, in the middle of the day between 12-4. I'm in the Bay area and just discovered this. I also bought my trailer at Blue Compass LV and dreading figuring this out with tech support back and forth. Ugh.

@aditto This was the smoking gun for me as well…..solar works well in the early morning, then as the sum becomes more direct midday, the Victron solar controller shuts off until later in the day, even though batteries are well below 100%…..it was super frustrating. Do you see any blemishes / bubbling on panels? I have included photos of mine in this forum.

@GordoB @aditto so I too looked for blemishes and did not immediately find any. I have seen some that literally burned into the shell which I am glad did not happen. Since you can't get on the roof you would need a scaffolding to get up and inspect . Have Blue Compas pull the refrigerator out and behind that is where the wires from the solar panels come down from the roof. They would then need a solar meter that tells you the watts that the panels are putting out. This is what the front one was putting out till it warmed up and then cut off.
