Solar Panel Installation

Unread post by johnii »

Hi,

I have a dual battery setup with redarc 1225D (Solar input) and want to have Solar Panel charge the battery, what panel should I buy? What wattage is suitable?

Looking for something robust as 80% of my driving is dirt/Corrugation.

I also have a trailer with a Battery I would like to charge via solar and maybe from Alternator. Can I add a third battery to the Redarc or whats the best way to go to keep that battery charged?

Thanks Scott. I like the look of the 430w panel, but the max voltage output is 42v, so too high for my dcdc chargers. If there is a solar controller out there that will handle that input for a 12v system then I could be tempted.
