    Power inverters

    It’s an intech terra oasis rover with 2 200w solar panels. Apparently a standard feature on these trailers. We have a generator to be able to run the ac if we’re not in a full hookup situation but it seems the batteries are reliant on the solar and the tow vehicle

    Solar Panel Manufacturer?

    What you need to know is panel voltage (measure at solar controller panel port.), and the controller specs. If the specs are part of the inverter,as you stated,what you have is referred to as a solar generator. In that case the specs are in the solar generator information. The panels voltage...

    Solar vs. coverage

    If you are only looking at solar to offset electrical consumption, when shore power is available, a life cycle cost analysis will not come out on the side of solar.

    When getting my LiFePO4 batteries last fall I asked about testing my solar panels (Solar Energy Systems Indiana).
