solar

Hi I have a Vitoman 1500 flashspeed powerstation. I want to be able to charge it via my leisure batteries using the 400w solar input (Anderson) rather than the slow 200w car cigarette input which will probably melt everything inc my van. Prob is the solar input voltage has to be an unusual high...

Does anyone know if you can buy a full weather proof cover that fit a swb t6 which allows for a roof solar panel ?

Any recommendations for a "cheap" portable solar setup, around 200W that I could get in the sales besides the Renogy? It will only get occasional use. I tried the Renogy 100W portable at the last offer, was decent but realised I needed more power to keep the Clayton unit topped up. There's a few...

Two new Campere/Lilie SPL105 105W solar panels, rigid panels that support parallel connection (avoiding electricity yield reduction when partially shaded). These panels don't suffer the expansion problems of semi-flexible panels resulting in much longer life in campervan and motorhome...

100w NDS Lightsolar panel. Brand new unfitted panel box has only been opened to take the pictures. These are a really high quality panel and thanks to the rear (underside) cable only sit less than 1cm above your roofline. Current retail price is £280 - Save yourself £100 and buy mine for £180...

I have a Victron 100/20 MPPT controller and the blue LED for Bulk is flashing. It doesn’t seem to be charging the leisure battery. Attached screenshots of current status and recent history. Any help appreciated.

Evening all! So just got back from a recent Bank Holiday camping trip. Absolutely superb couple of days at Shambala Festival near Coventry. Our 9th year of going, for my money best festival in the UK! But I digress. One thing I was curious to see was that the Victron Solar controller (in my...

So I have an EcoFlow Delta Mini as below being charged via an XT60 cable from an ignition live under the passenger seat. However, this set up just about copes with the daily draw on it by trickle charging when driving. But I'm wondering about a small solar panel either fixed to the roof or a...

Hope this is of interest to anyone thinking of the same sort of conversion. Just picked up the T6.1 upon completion of a fairly major refit by Olie at Hythe Auto Electrics. Pleased as punch with all of the works completed. The new solar panel and Roamer 230 battery in particular has...

Thanks to the posts here I have established that my solar panel has failed. It charges until it gets sunny then packs up. It’s a flexible 60w panel stuck on the pop top and charging 2x110 ah batteries through a MPPT Pro dual battery charger. It’s a Camperking conversion and although I’m not the...

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...

Was fitted to our T6 when we bought it. Unused - as bought the van partly converted, but we decided to switch it off for flexible panel when we popped the roof. Link to product - 200W Solar Panel | 12V Black Monocrystalline - Voltanic Looking for £75 Collection - Pembrokeshire (If visiting...

Hi there. I have a cheap briefcase style solar panel , which I use to charge up the power banks and usb devices. What cables would I need to connect it Upto a victron controller ? The leads coming out of the back of panel are are shown in the photo attached, they aren't the usual MC4 type. Thanks .

I currently have a 150W flexible solar panel stuck to my pop top which has now failed after about 5 years. I have a new panel waiting to be fitted but was just wondering 2 things. 1) I know it's not ideal, but bonding it directly onto the old panel is OK isn't it? (The old panel shows no signs...

Hi all has victron been having issues with updates,i ask this because i put new flexi panel on roof 3 weeks ago and a new victron 75/15 mppt (not on roof) as recommended on here all was good, then it slowly started less and less watts until there was nothing for several days,i put lights and...

Hello, Bought a camper earlier this year and it came with a duff flexi solar panel - it had been perimeter sealed so likely overheated within its first summer. Last weekend I bit the bullet and worked/prized it off... And sat the new 200w fixed frames in place. I didn't like how they...

Is there a legitimate way to add a portable solar panel to trickle charge a battery without having to drill holes in the van? I usually use hookup but have a couple festivals coming up. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I'm slightly concerned that since having a solar panel and Lazer lamps fitted by a converter my van battery (main battery) has completely died twice in a very short space of time. This is a brand new VW installed battery three months ago on a 21 plate van. The solar is connected to a three...
