I don’t mind making modifications that you would like.

Solar Production Summary – 

Understanding the amount of solar power this will produce and if it will be enough for your planned lifestyle is a very difficult question to answer. If you’re traveling north and south with the weather and give some thought to your energy usage, I would expect no issues for the majority of the year. It, like any other setup, would require a generator or a shore power plug on occasion for snow storms or staying somewhere very cloudy. If you have questions about how well the solar panels would enable your ideas, feel free to email. 

Heating Energy usage – 

The Mini Split’s heating performance offers a Coefficient of Performance of on average 3.5. This means for every kw of energy given to the system it can generally offer 3.5 kw of heat into your space. This is much more efficient than a typical air conditioner, and provides a very quiet and efficient way to heat your space. Recently, on a cold (25 degree) northern indiana day, the unit consumed about 5 Kwh of electricity, the full battery to keep it 70 degree’s inside. This was also without anyone inside to heat it with their normal activities and bodies, which would help considerably. 

The Cooling COP is 4.5, and less of a concern energy usage wise because of the fact that when it’s hot outside, there is likely more solar power too, and the bus should have no trouble keeping cool on hot sunny days.
