fold up solar kits

Postby yycwrangler » Thu Jan 17, 2019 9:48 am

looking to start with a folding solar setup..In days gone by renege was a good deal but I see prices have increased. Just wondering if anyone can recommend another brand that has good results..I would prefer the kit to come with a mppt vs pwm but could buy that seperate. Lots of places I camp is under trees so roof top wouldn't work and I would charge the battery from TV while travelling

Starting around the 100 watt folding and would go bigger depending on the cost

Cheers

You can always build your own.

Hinges are cheap. I used a couple of legs off of a cheap tripod I was going to throw away for legs.

I doubt anyone makes a folder with a true MPPT controller. You're talking such a low amperage I don't think it's an economical choice. PWMs work fine.

:thinking:
