As you say, a long video, but for me, it overlooked the important aspects of the project, and that was how it was all connected.
There was a 3-pin connector going to the HVAC unit, but he didn't show how he took the feed from the sunroof into the solar controller and back to the HVAC. Nor did he show where he connected the wires to the battery (although he did mention the battery management unit).
I've yet to fit my solar sunroof, but it would be a nice addition if it worked (and cost less than a tenner on eBay), and could also fit a switch to the HVAC feed so it could be turned off during the winter months (just like HPsauce has done on his S8).
