Using solar power as a great way to provide electricity when camping off-grid but can be daunting considering for the first time.
In this video I hopefully cover all of the commonly asked questions such as when solar power makes sense, how much you need, the effect of the seasons, ways to connect them such as parallel or serial and the cabling required.
I also cover the various types of panel and controller technologies.
Thanks as always to Steve Weaver for fact checking and support.
