I purchased a second panel a 100watt Rich Solar. The numbers are not exactly the same as the Renogy but very close. Also purchased a Renogy 100ah minicore lithium battery.
The trailer is a small simple fiberglass Scamp. The solar will be stand alone , not integrated into the existing trailer wiring. The primary purpose of the solar is to power a 12v Dometic fridge which uses 1.29 ah/hrs. So 31 ah per 24hour day? The fridge will hook up to fuse block.
Also did not mention , I have a lithium battery charger I will use if needed when on 110v shore power.
I read that wiring g the panels in parallel is better when 2 panels are not exactly the same.
Where should the fuses go? Are the ones pictured ok?
Any more fuses needed and where?
Is an on off swith a good idea to disconnect panels from system?
Is 10awg wire sufficient to run from controller to the fuse block. It's about a 14 foot run.
Any comments, additions , general advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
