Good Solar Installer near Long Island NY

Hi all. Any have a recomendation for an installer for a solar setup? I'm located on Long Island in NY. I am willing to travel within reason. This is for a 16 foot 2010 Scamp.
Alternately , any comprehensive videos on a DYI specifically for the Scamp. I'm a little leary of mounting on roof. My last RV came solar ready and was a snap.But I'm older and less daring now.

A lot of people get portable panels so they can put the trailer in shade and the panels in the sun.

I don’t have anything specific for a Scamp but i do have a video for my Casita which might help generate some ideas on how to do it on your Scamp.

I realize I'm NOT answering your question, but I'd also give a plug for going portable for reasons stated (i.e. park in shade, set up in sun), but also portable should be easier to upgrade as technology advances. Also, when not traveling you can find other uses for a portable array... for example, we plan to use our Renogy 200w suitcase for home use (to help power my wife's she-shed)... bonus! Good luck.

I installed 2 SunPower “flexible “ panels in parallel, 1 100watt and 1 50 watt using Eternabond Tape to the roof of my Casita. Used a wire gland port riveted on for wire access, connected to a 20 amp Renogy Voyager controller then connected to the battery.

Easy set up.
