mweiner Report post Posted February 10, 2018 Are you move reliant on solar panels...how large is your system? And, does it adequately power your systems for house lights and low power consumption electronics? OR, do you frequently use your generator, if you have one? As you know, generators make a lot of noise and are restricted during certain hours...and you can't hardly walk away from your rig all day leaving the generator running..? And, what's your battery system?? One 12 volt deep cycle battery or two 6 volt batteries in series?? Have you found a significant difference between the two systems?

desertdeals69 Report post Posted February 11, 2018 I have 800 watts of solar panels with a MPPT charge controller and 6 AGM golf cart batteries. In bright sun will charge low batteries at 38 amps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebill308 Report post Posted September 29, 2018 I did see a portable setup for solar that might work. It was like a smalsh folding table you put out if you needed a little charge. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
