Okay, I've added my 35w solar panel and controller to my Raptor. I have dual 12v batteries in parallel of course.
I finally found a 12v bulkhead plug with a water tight cap. Here's my somewhat crude install. Still can be updated on the wiring if needed.
The only reason I want the solar panel is to keep up my batteries while at the storage lot, not for any boon docking etc.
My Raptor sits facing directly south in my storage lot.
I have three heavy duty magnets on a stainless bracket on an aluminium solar panel frame, so not rusting etc. It just snaps to the top side of my pin box.
The wiring runs along the underside of the nose and is held in place by stick-on twisties and can be undone quickly.
The 12v wiring just plug into the bulkhead plug over the battery box.
I mounted the controller onto the wall between the batteries and the generator.
This is the plug harness I purchased.
I'll let you all know how well it works in a few weeks.
Any suggestions?
Thanks and have a great evening!
