Upgrading the Solar System

Not much here to report, except that we feel that 150 watts of solar panel is not quite enough to keep our twin leisure batteries topped up when running our fridge on gloomy days.

Hey ho, lets fit a second 160 Watt solar panel


Glued with Sikaflex 252 and screwed down on the roof same as the existing solar panel, dont want them coming off when travelling!
I cut the existing solar feed cables and fitted new MC4 connectors and a pair of Y connectors to couple both panels together.
We now have 310 Watts of solar energy at our disposal to keep the leisure batteries topped up.
