I have two solar panels mounted together that I got, along with
a 36AH SLA battery for running our Colman camp cooler (5A draw)
on road trips. The panels together supply about 7.5A at 12-18V
and will fit on the roof rack of our 4Runner. I also have a made
in China charge controller for the setup which includes low
voltage cutoff. (All of these pieces came from Jameco.)
Having decided that it was wasteful to only use them on trips, I
put the panels on the roof and am using them to run the
K3/10+P3. This setup is good enough to run the radio on receive
all night. (I haven't tried it during our rainy season.) I hope
it will run well for field day.
Cheers - Bill AE6JV
