Hi! First time to the forum here...
Got a 77 VW camper last year and am doing an extended camping with it ( 1 week...)
I have a 110 AH 12 battery, 2, 100 Watt panels, Renogy MPPT 30A Rover controller, my main draw will be a 6 amp refrig. I know there are other refrig's out there modern ones with better performance, but I am going to stay stock with the camper. There will be minimal light usage, but generally, how do I know if I want to connect panels in series or parallel? I understand how to do both ways, but what makes one chose one connection set over the other. I know in series, the voltage is additive, but the amperage remains the same, and vice versa for parallel.
Thanks so much, will be leaving Monday! - Happy trails!
