Any thoughts from the "I installed solar" members?
I have a quality 12VDC regulated power supply and was wondering if I could use it in place of a solar panel. I don't plan on putting solar panels on the van but I think a solar controller would accomplish a few things.The power supply can be adjusted to provide up to 15VDC at 25A
1) manage charging rate to my house AGM battery
2) provide low voltage shutoff
3) use power supply as a charger and to power 12V items when docked
Like this:
I plan on a typical maximum load of about 30A. Small TV, lights, ham radio, 12V fridge, etc.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
