solar hook up

Question

Hi, I am hooking up a 200 watt solar panels not hard wired.
where do they get hooked to on the batteries. I have a inline 4 battery hookup. need to know if they get hooked to the battery posts or somewhere else.

What voltage are the panels and how many? 200 watt panels tend to be 24 volt which would require an MPPT controller.

The panels connect to the controller then the output of the controller connect to your batteries.

Four main parts to an RV solar system...panels, controller, batteries and proper sized wiring. Do you have all these?

connect the panels to a controller, connect the controller to the battery post with a fuse.

If they are 24V, you would wire them in parallel (just FYI).   Otherwise you'd get an insane high voltage after many panels.
