Connecting External Solar Panel Array
Hi Everybody,
I just purchased two 100-watt solar panels and a charge controller. I don't want to mount the panels on the roof because I'd rather be able to park in the shade when possible.
My idea is to arrange them some reasonable distance from the van using whatever gauge of cable is necessary to minimize loss.
My question is, how to best connect the cable between the controller and my onboard battery? I'm thinking Anderson Powerpole connectors using a weatherproof panel mount housing such as the one sold by Powerworx.
Has anyone done something like this?
