Having said I don’t catch it charging from the alternator, given max charge power is 438 W it must have done, since my solar panel is only 100W!

...MPPT charger, the Victron ones are a popular choice on the forum and are not that expensive for a 10A or 15A version. I recently got the Renogy 100w foldable and that is rated as 24.3v OCV, again too high for the CTEK. I know others have used the Dokio panels and they are not bad, good...

Renogy 100w solar panel (black division)

Suitcase style will be too bulky and large to fit on dash. Look at either a fold up 100w that will fit on the dash. Or . 100w or so flat flexible panel placed on roof with magnets. .. More panel means larger size. Efficientcy is around 18-22% so much the much.(unless you look at the new...

Thank you for the clarification. Could you read from the unit what the input Watts were? Because if your unit allows up to 15A (as stated for my Delta 2) then I would have expected more than 100W at 12-14v.

...to DIY. Has anyone managed to do such thing? I'm asking only for the mounting, how tough will it be, etc. This is the panel I want - EcoFlow 100W Flexible Solar Panel Example alu profile I consider - DIY PROFILES Wiring initially to be passed on the back through the seals, maybe later thing...

Fwiw.. . You can get a second 100w panel , then add that to get 200w. It's recommended that both (or more) be the same make and model. ... You could also fit any mobile panel with a seperate controller to run alongside your existing 100w roof panel. ...

Exactly this, weve had many failures with panels, hopefully the new technology is more robust.

The Dokio kits are fine... I've tested the 100w and 200w kits and found them too be a good starter kit. The only issue was a lack of main fuse.... Which is super easy to add yourself. (Just cut the red wire a few inches from the clamp and splice in a 15A fuse like above). Checkout the solar...

I've not tested this specific one , but its an example: 100w fold panel, with PWM controller. the battery clips will need a fuse adding. or add your own 12v plug to back feed via a 12v socket. https://amzn.to/3S1NocR

As a rough guestimate that will run the heater for 5.8 hours before the delta2 runs to 0%.

...the corrected figures will let you run your own numbers. What may matter more than absolute panel size is how are you going to use them. A 100w with 12 hours of good sunshine is likely to work but if you are at LeMans if you have a portable panel is someone going to stay with the van for 12...

Yes definitely. If you can, plug it in now - you might only see 1v but that would be enough to confirm the MPPT is ok. Obviously the battery won't charge at that.

I have a spare 100w California solar panel MPPT and the curly cable that I bought 12 months ago from solar camper solutions for over £500 and have since bought a crafter. Would sell for £300

You can charge the starter battery directly through the cigerette port?

They looks to be in the 50-100w range. So I'd go for the Victron 75/15 smart Bluetooth unit ..... https://amzn.to/3Q2fKTS . .....

I’m going to be upgrading my vans power soon and changing to lithium. I have a flexi solar panel on the roof and presume it’s 100w. I’m wanting to upgrade this to at least a 200w panel and read through the various solar panel threads but am wanting to know what’s the best panel to upgrade to...

yes. . . but keep the current below 6A/8A or the plug & socket will get HOT. a 50-100W dash panel is ideal. . . see here when i done it. https://www.t6forum.com/threads/guide-mobile-solar-panels-how-i-did-it.13225/post-195897

Told me £95 shipping on the online chat for two 100w panels. Somethings a miss, although most Americans don't know where Europe is let alone the little U.K :thumbsdown:

Depends on the MPPT, the smaller 75/10 and 75/15 don't get as hot, the 100/20 has a bigger heatsink as it's pushing more amps.
