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?

Some solar controllers, like mine, can be damaged by disconnecting the batteries without first removing the power from the PV panels because it gets its control power from the batteries. I installed a marine battery switch in the positive from the panels to the controller because of this. My controller is a SunCharger-30 PWM. There is a stern warning about this in the manual. YMMV. -Mark.
