    Two solar controllers and 1 solar panel

    Thanks. I have a small RV. I bought a portable suitcase setup for charging while out camping. It has the controller attached. I also have a panel mounted on the carport where the RV is parked while stored. It has it's own controller, and keeps the trailer battery charged during non-use...

    Two solar controllers and 1 solar panel

    If I may take this a step further. If I have two panels, each with their own controller, would they play nicely together if I run them both to my battery? They are both Renogy SWM 20 amp controllers.

    Whats your average KWH hour household ?

    Importance of connection order

    Thanks to you both for your responses. When I set up my portable panel at the campsite, I just lay it face down until the controller is plugged into the camper battery.

    I was being sarcastic with the safest comment. I've read so many Tesla owners brag about how it's almost impossible to have a wreck with the autopilot system, etc. Seriously though, I didn't think there were enough Teslas on the road to provide an unlimited supply at a single salvage yard...

    I have unlimited Tesla modules...could use help designing a RV system

    Why would there be "unlimited" modules available at a salvage yard. Is the "safest" car on the road getting into that many accidents, and all in that one area?

    Can these systems be combined?

    I ran across these setups today. https://www.homedepot.com/p/NATURE-POWER-110-Watt-Polycrystalline-Solar-Panel-with-11-Amp-Charge-Controller-53000/311140816 I'm curious. Could a person use two of these together on an RV for 220 Watts, or three or four of them, without having to buy a new...
