8.3 Factory fitted Solar Energy
System
Your campervan is fitted with a solar panel and
regulator. This solar panel and regulator may
provide additional 12V power whenever sunlight
is available to the Camper, and can provide a
daily boost to the leisure battery when camping
without a mains 230V supply.
It is also possible to manually direct solar
charge to the vehicle battery instead of the
leisure battery, using the battery select switch
on the camper van control panel (see section
described elsewhere in this handbook.)
Battery power
Depending on the state of the charge of the
battery it may take a few hours to several days to
recover a discharged battery.
For obvious reasons the solar panel and
regulator will only work during daylight hours,
whereas the demands on the leisure battery
(power use) may be twenty four hours per day.
Regulator operation
The MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking)
regulator fitted to your campervan is fully
automatic and has a maximum rating of 150
watts. When the solar regulator is not working
(i.e. panel is in darkness) the regulator does not
use any 12v power.
Maintenance and cleaning
The solar panel will require cleaning periodically
in order to maintain the performance of the
panel, a caravan, car shampoo or simple soap
can be used; no abrasive cleaners should be
used. Take care if working at height to clean the
panel.
