Yesterday I finished fastening the panels to Minnie’s roof and today I connected up all the wiring. With the wire I had left from the stand out panels I made a jumper cable that I can charge my engine battery if it gets low.
I guess tomorrow I will head for Dawson City. This has been a nice camp but I’m beginning to wonder what’s up the road. It will be easy to break camp with no solar panels to put away and no satellite dish to take apart. I’m getting closer to Alaska.
Wait a minute! Am I supposed to be working on Father’s Day?
If you find that you need the flexibility of movable panels when you return down south you can always just buy some more portable ones. You can never have too much solar!
I hope you had a nice Father’s Day! Yes, you were doing something good for yourself. The best kind of work. I always give myself a gift on my special days. Something I buy myself or a task that I want done. Then I always feel great at the end of the day. I’ll bet you did, too.
I think it’s amazing that you knew how to do all that stuff. 🙂
I agree with Dick. As much solar as you can afford and fit is what I say.
The only thing I have to watch out for is overloading my solar charger. It is only 30 amp rated. Technically if I get five 100 watt panels I could overload it.
