Hey Aaron - Do you have to protect those panels in any way from this ice crap today? or are they pretty resilient to weather?

Weather resistant they are made to be permanently mounted outdoors

Looks sweet man ! What will those panels do for power ? I need the dummy terms, not tech savvy example.... Charge all your battery's in a day type setup ?

Should charge battery in few hrs under no load should maintain full charge while using TV and cell chargers.

3 settings
Dead battery recovery under 10v
Normal charge 2/6 amp charge to 13v
Maintain charge on and off as needed to maintain full bat

Only hooked up to deep cycle type batteries or can you use with starting batteries as well?

Pretty neat idea

I considered a 24v panel bit the reality is there's no room and if I take it off and on at some point it will get damaged. For the cost of a good panel I couldn't justify it cause I don't slip and usually I'm home evernight to plug in.

Is there back feed protection or are these on Accessory non charging batteries? Non charging being only charged from the panels? I would hate to see you burn those up with the boat motor trying to feed into them.

They will not be hooked up to the main boat battery's while the main motor is running. They also have overcharge protection on them.

For now they are on battery's only charged by solar. Eventual plan is to put a switch to my main battery's to allow me to switch that on to charge them when main is not running. Still some research to be done there.

Thanks for the heads up always good to hear concerns.
