solar pre-wired questions
Our new rv has an outdoor two pin plug-in for solar. What do I need to take advantage of it? What are it's benefits and limitations? We don't currently have any panels.

StirCrazy,
I'll probably regret this.
Poly does better in shade. Systems with series wired panels are badly affected by shade.
My tiny system (by today's standards) produces about 17 amps in perfect conditions.
It also does 6 amps in leafy shade. Mono would produce nada if parked under a leafy tree.
Mine is a series parallel with an input of 33 volts to the controller.
My cost for parts per watt in 2005 was $5, including the charge controller, panels, wiring, fuse, shipping and tax.
