My split charge relay has after 3 years decided to screw up my start stop system (really should have realised normal Durite split chargers and start stop do not mix in advance)
But considering the low mileage, I’m thinking of fitting a solar setup instead just to keep the battery reliable, especially on weeks where it’s big commercial work and the van is stationary for large parts of the day.
Anyone using a solar system? I’m looking at a 140W Victron smart solar kit. Any advice if 140W is enough or if bigger panel required?
There’ll be one 110AH battery on the other end running up to 2 pumps / controllers (although 90% of the time only 1 pump / controller)
Based in South East England (where in theory it’s sometimes quite sunny) if that makes any difference
