I have a another follow up question for the solar install:
Does the charge controller get hot? (planning on getting this system) with the Rover 40 MPPT controller (for extend-ability later)
This would determine the installation location. I would not want an additional heater inside the trailer.
Do people install a main on/off switch on the pos wire from controller to the battery? How does the system work when solar is on while towing (truck charging) or on external power? Any conflicts? What happens to the extra capacity?
