I know someone who did this, he thought it was a great idea. He showed me and tried to tell me to do it. A couple of weeks later they were removed, something had gone wrong, and some wiring blew, I can’t remember exactly what happened he did tell me but I have forgotten. He then said it was a bad idea. So he removed them and began charging his battery with a charger. Not saying give it a go, it’s up to you.
If it’s done right it will help to charge the batteries up but bench charging would still be needed depending on power used , camper vans use solar to charge the leisure batteries up and it works well provided they are in direct sun light with no shade .
Have to agree with Spruce We have them on both vans, never have to recharge in summer go about two to three weeks over the winter months, easy to fit and set up, can be bought quite cheaply now, saves a load of time on the recharging, would always have them fitted now.
Thanks guys, I've been watching some stuff on YouTube and had begun to wonder if it would be worthwhile. Looks like that tech is getting more affordable too.
I have Renogy monocrystalline solar panel. For what it is (100watts), it does the job very well. I have it hooked to a grid tie inverter and it's producing a peak of about 83 watts in to my mains electricity. Obviously there will be some loss through the inverter so I can't complain.
