    "I've been camping solar for 20 years. I never suggest using rooftop mounted panels as you usually want to camp n a shady area. I use outboard panel(s) and make up 25 ft sections of 10g marine wire with 2 wire flat connectors. This way I can simply point the panels at the sun. MOST IMPORTANT component is to make sure you get the MPPT charge controller. Most dealers use the cheaper PWM controller, but you lose 30% of your panels output. Only getting 70w out of a 100w panel doesn;t seem like much....but everything little bit helps with solar. PM me if you want a source for panels as there is lots of junk out there. "



    Could you please direct me to a good source for Solar equipment? Thanks, Mike
