Solar charging

Does anyone have recommendations for solar charging connected to redarc bcdc, also any links to videos showing install and wiring setups for panel to bcdc.

 

It's all on their website.

 

Maybe wasn’t clear, I meant actual wiring ideas, ie; roof top, hood soft panel, hard panel, connector preference. I’m thinking Anderson connector but I’ve seen a few watertight connectors I’m not familiar with.

 

Right on, sorry if I came across as an ass...
I run a 175W flexible Renogy on top of an OVRLND pop-up camper. I dump it into a 100AHr Li-Fe battery and it all works like a champ. It is laid over a sheet of plastic cardboard (Home Depot) secured with Eternabond tape. The plastic cardboard helps with performance by separating the panel from the hot roof. I left the rear edge untaped in order to drain any water. I do not run a batter equalizer like the Redarc, have not had a need to. I'm out in Washington and can go several+ days running a bigger 12V fridge and bad sun w/o issues. You might consider giving it a go without the Redarc for a bit and see how it goes. Renogy sells water tight connectors/wires for the panel to the charge controller. You'll also need a charge controller and depending on how you go about it and some relays and a battery disconnect switch. I ran Blue Sea for most of the electrical bits.

 

I’m also using blue sea, I’ve seen the renogy’s on Amazon, wasn’t sure how good they are. Also just installed agm odyssey to save a few $$ I may regret that decision in the long run. Waiting on fridge to arrive next week so I’ll see.

 

Renogy is good gear. Hate to say it, but buy through Amazon, Renogy customer service is pretty lacking. Buy more solar than you think. Remember a 100W panels is 100W at the equator at noon on summer solstice. I figure my 175W can pull 130W at Lat 45 on a sunny day.

 

Gotcha, thanks
