Solar

[Simon Meadwell]

I have two 100ah leisure batteries and one solar panel dont know the wattage.
Excuse my lack of knowledge what would a second solar panel give me. Quicker charging?
We managed off grid this weekend for three nights but we were careful of usage didnt have tv on much.

Yes, if your existing panel is 100 watts if you added another 100 watt panel you would double the charge rate.

A second solar panel would always be better. Also install a voltage meter or keep an eye on your one. It will give you an indication of state of charge for your batteries so you don't discharge them too much and cause them permanent damage.

I have had a quote for another panel and regulator. As we dont know the watt of the existing panel it isnt being wired in parallel
Does this matter im no electrician?

Yes, it matters, do your research

But, if you are also getting another controller, you connect each panel to its own controller, not to each other, then to the battery

Another Solar Panel Question???

I have recently taken delivery of a 300w panel that I am hoping to fit to the MH this weekend. My question is, The MH all ready has a 100w panel fitted to it, Do I link the 300w to the 100w or disable the 100w and only use the 300w? I have very little experience of these as you might of guessed...
