Hi,
Earlier in the year, I had a solar panel fitted, with the intention of fitting LED bulbs for use on Aires in France, and occasional wild camping.
I got back from France on the 11th October, and parked the van up. Other than being cleaned when I parked it, I haven't been in since.
I went in this morning to check that everything was OK after the weekend storms, and found that the panel was reading 14.1V.
I find that very comforting given that there hasn't been a lot of sun for the last month or so, and the fact that the van is parked between my house and the garage, which means that it only gets sun for an hour or so a day, when the sun is directly overhead.
If it continues to keep the batteries fully charged, there will be no need for me to intervene with the charger!
