I have a school bus that I have hard wired to my garage, but I would like to use the 12v lights on the outside and inside of the bus along with anything else that normally ran off the battery when it still had an engine in it. I have an extra 100w solar panel left over from my grid tied net metering system I had installed this spring. I want to use it to maintain the battery that used to be charged by the alternator. I can give more information about the battery if needed. Looking to find out what size solar charge controller to use, I'm going to mount the panel on the roof and mount the controller within ten feet of the panel and probably another ten feet to the battery. Thanks this is my first post hopefully I did okay.
