Hi Guys,,
A quick query if I may. Just in the process of rigging up the wiring and mounting the controller for a solar panel. The panel will be stowed away and only brought out to charge an AGM DC battery as required. The vehicle does the charging through a smart relay while driving.
I intend putting an isolator switch in the circuit and am not sure if it would be best to be between the battery and the MPPT controller or between the panel and the controller. Keeping in mind that when driving the panel will be stowed and disconnected , will isolating the controller from the battery be on any advantage.
Many thanks in advance for any input (no pun intended)
Cheers
