This weekend I installed the solar system. I went with the Bogart solar charge controller. the 840 had the wires come in from the roof, pass through the cabinet behind the wire panel, than down to under the sink, where they continue to the battery box. First I removed the extra wire. I bet I remove 3 feet from behind the switch panel and 5 feet from under the sink.
Here is the charge controller mounted under the sink.
waiting for the panels that were due on Saturday FedEx truck, I sat in RV and watched TV for maybe 3 hours Friday night to suck down the batteries so I had a load for testing. (camper has been unplugged since Thursday night).
FedEx pulled up late Saturday afternoon with my two 100w amazon panels. By the time I completed the roof top wiring I was in the shade so I really could not see them work on Saturday.
I finished the job and programmed the Bogart 2030RV.
Sunday I got up just as the sun was coming over the hill so I could watch things working. Battery (Two 27 series 90ah AGM's) was at 70% charge before sun hit panels. within 2 hours I was seeing this 11.6a Solar charge (this number is before my .5a parasitic load comes out of the solar current.)
At 13.8 V
I guess its working right. It was 50% clouded all day as the cumulus clouds passed by. By time I was back in shadows Bogart 2030rv showed 100@ charged.
Guess its working :)
I will shoot some picture of the roof after I get to tie down the wire loom I have the wires run through.
