Upgrade to 200W solar panel.
- Thread starter BoroBoy
- Start date
If you want to fit a isolation point.
It needs to be on the panel positive side wire, any where along the cable run, where ever is most practical for your install.
You could just fit a mc4 connector or other plug.
If you want to fit a switch or breaker, out needs to be rated for the max PV power plus some over head.
A 200w panel will have a isc Max current around 12A @ 18v... So look at getting a 20A or higher switch or breaker. (If looking at a breaker out must be a DC type, not AC)

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.

[Guide] Mobile Solar Panels ? . . . - How I Did It -
Mobile Solar Panels ? . . . - How I Did It - There is loads of background to this . . . . . but for now here is a vid for you all. =] Just remember W = V*A and as a general rule a good 100W panel will give you up to 6A charge with good sun. 25w = 1.5A 50W = 3A 100w = 6A 200w = 12A 300w = 18A...

fwiw . .
i use a DC breaker on my solar shed.
but as you see they are sizable,
so the smaller isolation switches may be more suitable in a camper conversion?.
