Lets See Your Solar Setups For Camping

  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

These are some sweet setups.

Question for those of you that have flat mounted 100w (or so) panels, how much charging current do you typically see on a clear day? I'm trying to decide whether it's worth designing and building a tilt mechanism.

View attachment 84253 View attachment 84254 Received my Renogy solars panels today. Two 100 watt panels with MPPT controller. Got the brackets made up for Alu Cab rails. Did not get connectors to wire up panels in Parallel for 12 V set up, .called local source the connectors should be in tomorrow and I can get cabling ran. Would like to make run to Joshua Tree NP next week for testing.
