Camper Shell Solar

[Old_Man]

Thanks for the caution, but It is MPPT. Look on Amazon. Same product. Only difference is where it's shipped from. Even reviews say so.

I will power two LED strip lights and a car stereo. Charge my phone and the walkies. No fridge, no A/C, no heater. What will I need more than 30 AH for? BTW, it is TWO 100-watt panels. I will mostly be camping alone. I have books. You know, those paper things with words on them? I want to listen to Live at Leeds and the Minor League baseball game (with the rule changes, I'm DONE with MLB). Maybe the Sunday Morning fishing report on KFBK.

I have done my energy audit. 30AH is plenty.

Depending on what you need to power that 30Ah battery may be too small for your loads and those 3 100 watt panels.

Oh and I doubt that the charger is really an MPPT at that low price.

Hi Y'all. I'm 68. I have a very clean '97 S10 (128000 original) with a camper shell. My intent is to use this as my camping vehicle for trout fishing trips, every year until I shuffle off to the astral plane. I've designed (well, not really designed, followed a basic design) a solar system to provide me with power for my LED strip lights and a car stereo system, mounted in the back.

I'll use these flexible panels https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256803956794597.html

Some inverter but I'm not sure it's necessary, as I can charge everything on 12VDC.

Panels will remain stored (in the original boxes) until I arrive at my destination. I'll use suction cups to affix the panels to the top of the shell.

Any suggestions?
