I'm looking to install myself a solar set up for my battery as i am going camping and like to be safe with my battery.
I am planning not to use my 12v lights that much, only at night for this summer season if im having a night without candles. I am using propane for my oven/burner this summer and will not be using my fridge but instead trying a clay made evaporating fridge to keep my food cool rather than cold even though it has 12v option i don't think my budget could afford it.
this is just a basic set up to keep my battery alive this summer with minimal use, lights when possible.
What would your set up be?
Currently i have my one car battery connected to my camper Battery that goes to my 12v lights with a fuse. Then a have a seperate 120v circuit that runs the fridge, outlets, and also lights that goes out to an extension cord but that will not be used.
ideally when I'm ready i want to be totally offgrid and be able to rely on my 120v sources by solar too but for now i just want to integrate or update my 12v system with solar with the simpliestset up.
300 dollar budget is what id like to keep it around. I noticed pwm controllers to be super cheap. Even 100w panels. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01IX9...S15FKXK4&psc=1
