I have completed my Solar installation today.

It was much easier than I thought it was going to be. I bought all the kit from Photonic Universe who I met at the London Boat show. Very easy to deal with and I think reasonably priced. I bought one 130W panel which was the biggest that I could fit on the coach roof. The order is below:

http://www.photonicuniverse.com/en/catalog/full/66-10A-dual-battery-solar-charge-controller-with-a-remote-LCD-meter.html – (£73.99)

http://www.photonicuniverse.com/en/catalog/full/146-Pair-of-5m-single-core-extension-cable-leads-40mm-for-solar-panels-and-solar-charging-kits.html (24.99)

http://www.photonicuniverse.com/en/catalog/full/125-5m-40mm-double-core-extension-cable.html (18.99 x2)

Running the cables was very easy and connecting the whole thing up was also easy. I’ve not fixed the panel in place yet as I want to see the best position and the best place to fix the wiring run on the coachroof, but overall it is looking good. Nice to see the Amps going into the battery without costing anything…
