Ok
So I now have my charging system for the dub on the move but I’m hitting
problems with 12v power when I am camping for more then two days. So I have
been looking at other ways of creating power.
Wind
Power
There’s
always wind what about a wind turbine? Well I had a good look around and found
a couple of units that would do the job, so I went and had a look at a couple
on an US camper.
Yes
power output was good but the noise was just to much and the set up time would
be over an hour on site before I could start to get every thing else sorted.
Solar
Power
This
was I’m sure going to be the way forward as I have seen some very thin panels
fitted to boats but what about the cost?. Yep this was the problem for the size
of panel and a 65w output I would need most good panels where over £700 so I
started to look all over the net of a panel that would do the job and I found a
company called http://www.sunshinesolar.co.uk
they had a panel called “Sunshine Marine Solar Module 65W” and the cost was
just under £400 per panel, Result!
So
with the panel sorted I needed to be able to link it into the existing power
charging system. So I found a change regulator (7amp) that
would do the job and only £20
