Golden rules of solar
There's always discussion of solar in the "Tech Issues" section of the Forum. You're welcome to start a new thread about your intentions.
For most folks just weekending and having moderate charging needs, a single module and a small controller is all that's necessary. Most of the benefit can be in storage as the solar will keep the battery/s charged and ready for the next trip. There's no need to remove battery/s and charge at home or injure the battery by leaving it in a discharged state.
