Solar Questions

Thinking about having a 160 watt solar panel installed on my Sunseeker. Other then keeping my batteries fully charged what other advantages will I have gain from having this installed. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • Battery will probably seem to gain capacity.

    No need to plug in and charge during storage or before a trip.

    Also consider a Trik-L-Start combiner to also keep the chassis battery tip top charged.
  • Hi,

    The battery bank will have about double the lifespan.

    During most of the day any parasitic loads will be supplied by the panel rather than the battery bank.

    Boondocking time line will be extended.
