Solar
I want to add solar to my WC850 so how do I determine what wattage panel to get? Along with necessary equipment to run it. I'm pre wired already.

I basically want to keep my batteries charged when not running genny or driving truck. So It sounds like a 200 watt panel, a charge controller, and a solar panel correct. Will this be adequate? Btw, thanks for the input so far.
I have 220w of solar which charges two 105AH AGM batteries. I strongly suggest you invest in a MPPT solar controller. I use the Morningstar Sunsaver MPPT. It will give you more from your solar panel than a cheaper non-MPPT controller.
I haven't used my generator for a while.
X2 on the Sunsaver Controllers, we maintain about 50 systems with these controllers and have never had a problem.
Likewise, we use them in our solar powered seismic stations.
