ok i thought id try out the brew community and pic your brains on all things solar 12v and battery storage i know this is a brewing forum and there are solar forums for this but lets admit we are a pretty nousey bunch us brewers.
ok here is what ive got currently a standard voltage relay that charges my deep cycle AGM battery (110AH )but its over 10 years old so im looking to up grade to current best practice.
these days it seems its DC to DC charge units with in built MPPT solar charge units all rolled into the one unit. you hook your Auxillary battery in your cranking battery and solar unit load all into the one unit.
I want to make a transprotable unit so i can have it hooked up in the car but when i get to my camp spot i can unhook the battery box from car and take it into my campsite then set the panel up in the sun, hook up fridge, light system all into the battery then kick back relax brouse brewersfriend and have a homebrew whilst out in the beautiful great outdoors.
whats your set up all? you run solar you know much about this DC to DC charge units and all heck im even thinking how i could run my brew fridge and freezer on a solar battery storage setup.
the Dc to Dc charge controller im looking at is as below is not bottom of the line but near so should work i think with my basic setup.
i thought this pannel looks good and i wanna mount it on roof rack whilst in transit but be able to unhook and set up near my campsite away from car. it doesnt need a charge controller as ill hook it into DC to DC its got Multi point power tracking MPPT inbuilt. is this a good panel? it fits dimentions of roof rack.
well let us know your thoughts im like a newb BIAB brewer who just needs direction...
