Hi All,
I have a GD 22MLE trailer that comes with a 165w panel and small scc.. Very cheap battery installed by dealer. I'm planning to upgrade, adding 3 200w panels connected to a new scc and Li battery.
I was going to pull out the factory panel but now I'm wondering if there's benefit in keeping it and connecting its scc to the same battery as the new system. Seems like extra power for little money. I'd have to drill a new hole in the roof for the new string of panels but wouldn't have to deal with removing the original stuff on the roof, a wash hopefully.
What would you guys do?
