What do you need for your system? Well, you could take your rig down to your nearest solar system installer and let them answer all those questions, install the system, and send you on your way with a much lighter wallet. And even if you decide to go that route, it will help to learn all you can about the process first, so you can tell if they are worthy of your business or not, and whether or not the system they propose will meet your needs. There are countless stories out there of inadequate systems and shoddy installations. If you do your homework ahead of time you probably won't end up being another dissatisfied customer venting your anger on an internet forum. And if you're one of those folks who believes you need to do it yourself if you want it done right, or you're a tightwad, or both (like me), then read on.
In addition to batteries, your solar charging system will consist of the following parts:
- Solar panels
- Charge controller
- Wiring
- Fuses
- Kill switches
We'll handle these topics next, starting with Part 6, The Panels.
