Solar panel

[la nomade]

here is a solar panel on top of the front airconditioner......can not figure out what it does nor how it woks if it does?????any ideas????

[Alumaholic]

IS there a wire pair running from the panel to the refrigerator vent cover?
Is the other end of this wire visible in the exterior access compartment to the refrigerator?
Is there a junction or solar controller in the refer access compartment?
Is there a solar controller anywhere inside the coach?

Any solar panel that will fit on a roof top air conditioner will only give you a slight trickle charge to your batteries....perhaps just under 1 amp at best (if that much). For the effort required to connect it and run charge wires to your batteries, IMHO, it is hardly worth the effort for the slight return that you may or may not get..depending on the condition of the panel.

If you have a Penguin Low Profile, you can try this.
The 40W monocrystaline panels are too big so you will have to use a 40W polycrystaline. (see post for size details)

The roof is only so big, so you have to use every area possible.
