Opinions on 100W Solar System
I've done my reading and research and think I have a system figured out.
Limited space on the roof of my 815 so plan on going with a single panel. Maximum space available is 52 x 25, but optimum would be 52 x 22 to avoid possible shadows from the ac shroud by about 3pm.
Only have one Group 29 and don't really plan on adding another. This one currently does fine for a couple of days if I'm careful during the winter. So don't need a lot more capacity.
Biggest factor is the new truck isn't keeping up with the frig on DC while driving despite having the same wiring as on the previous truck. Second big factor is I'm tired of having to pull the battery when the camper sits in the yard for a couple of months or I forget and leave an LED on.
Have been looking mainly at the AM Solar website and if ordered from them I would get the GS100 Panel($269) with the SunSaver-10 PWM Controller ($55).
Thoughts and suggestions?
