Any good or not?? Price and/or performance wise.
I would appreciate opinions (especially from business members) either through this post or by member message.
I have recently purchased a 2007 24` Regent caravan which has 2 Delkor? Sp? 12v batteries.
Has a 185l 3 way fridge / freezer, a wine cooler, 2 12v Tv`s and all the usual bits and pieces -eg - electric water. The van is a 1hr 15m return trip from
home, so I am going by memory to what it has in the way of 12v equipment. Not sure if it has incandescent bulbs or halogen or led`s.
I assume that I can clip the supplied alligator clips straight onto the van battery, even when it is charging thru the C-TEK MULTI XS 25000 fitted to the van.
As they can be roof mounted,can I use 2 of these panels at once powering them direct to the batteries in the boot?
Sorry if my request is not as specific as it could be , I was not looking at
solar panels just yet, the were going to be on my hit list in March /April. As they have come up on special now I have decided to run this past any one who wishes to comment.
Thanks in advance , Regards G.T.
