Solar Kit
Just received my kit. 2 100w panels with a 30a pwm controller. Hoping it will recharge my 2 GC2's. I am alone in the trailer and power use is min. Any thoughts?

The kit came with #10 wire 20' with all the connectors which should be ample. My biggest concern is where to mount the controller. Someone said NOT to mount in the batt area due to degassing. WHY? I guess I could put it in the basement compartment and wire through the wall to the batt.
Do a Google search on Sulfuric acid and corrosive. You still need 14.8V to top charge the battery... The charge controller in the kit most likely will not get the job done. It's the cheapest they could find to add to the kit to maximize their profit, due to the uninformed consumer not knowing any better.
