Over the past few Covid weeks , I¡¯ve been experimenting with Solar Panels. It¡¯s not enough to power a motor yet, but I¡¯m thinking maybe 150 watts of panel could be installed on fairings / cargo crates , which would be of use charging the vehicles main battery.
I had to install the panels because my Garmin (automotive) uses 2.1 amps. But I also use it to recharge my phone, and the new Bluetooth speaker. Plan to charge my camera on longer adventures. I¡¯m glad I did this just to get some experience. Now that I know how a Charge Controller works, I¡¯m becoming eager to create a solar/human hybrid powered vehicle. I hope everyone can view the latest photos. I put the warning ¡°12 photos¡± in the title in case some people are still using dial-up.?
