Dave, I have a 1 poly 100w panel and 1 flexible 120w panel. I have 2 110AH leisure batteries. My controller is a PV Logic STCC 10. Don't use too much power, 12v TV sometimes and 2 phones to charge, fridge is gas. I'd like to upgrade my controller as I'm not sure it's good enough. Any suggestions? I'm off to follow the sun in the US for a year in March. Thanks. Gary

Hi I have an old Peugeot boxer rambler(w reg).No space for a solar panel on roof.Only space is on slope above windscreen.Is it possible to fit a panel over kitchen skylight(I don't open it) or would you suggest a portable one.?Would be grateful for advice.Thanks.
In Scotland they have longer summer daytime than the south of England, so charging times are longer :)

This is a highly effective method to repair your old and dead batteries and prolong the life span of new and used batteries [Check Details Here==>https://docs.google.com/document/d/163kspciMT9QSUlNAvv0MT-ezkqtKCoEIdoxzlystrFQ/edit?usp=sharing ].

Thanks Dave for all your informative videos,
I'm about to install a solar panel on my motorhome to keep my leisure batteries topped up for off grid times, but when I'm on sites and hooked up to electric will the solar panel charger affect the mains battery charger?.
