Building a ROOF RACK for 580W of Solar Power!

We designed and built a roof rack for our Ford Transit camper van conversion to hold as MUCH solar as possible while still having room for our Nomadic air conditioner and Maxxair fan. It's super low profile with a wind fairing up front that should, at our best estimates, net us a 3 second decrease on our 1/4 mile time.

Special thanks to Unaka Gear Co for sponsoring this video and for working with us to bring this idea to market. They've got all kinds of other roof rack solutions (and more) at their site: https://unakagearco.com/products/ford...
