Hi,
We have just moved to a Hymer B614SL Star Edition and need to fit solar panels. I will be fitting three 100watt but unfortunately there are a lot of things up there already so will have to scatter them about a bit rather than a nice neat bank.
The Hymer has a SCHAUDT Elektroblok EBL101 with DT201B panel and I remember reading on here that only the SCHAUDT solar regulator should be used, why? I used the MPPT regulator favoured by Andy @Techno before and was very pleased with it, also the SCHAUDT LR1218 I have found on FleaBay is only 18amp rather than 30amp of the other about the same price £80 - £90 with postage.
Also does anybody have a source of good quality double cable entry glands preferably in black, the last one I ordered was extremely flimsy.
Any other thoughts gratefully received.
Steve
