solar power intro

We're considering solar after-market options. We want to keep our batteries charged while dry camping for 4-6 days. I'm looking for a good intro to solar and have searched the threads but answers have eluded me. Any recommendations for a good introduction to the possibilities?

Perhaps this of interest: AM Solar "RV Solar Education" pages.

Yes, it's one company's perspective, and obviously has promotional content, but still good info about terminology, components, and total system possibilities presented in a logical manner, IMO.

After becoming familiar with the components and nomenclature from the above I'd recommend forum member Jon Vermilye's blog pages which share a tremendous amount of real-world experience about his Escape trailer solar upgrades and performance, here's a good starting page, follow the links to more: Lithium Battery project

Just for your consideration, Have Fun
