I've had it a year. Literally no complaints with it, it's been great. Bought it already set up with a 100w panel on the roof and a 12v battery, inverter, etc.

Everything except the A/c runs on 12v, which is awesome. However, I'm wanting to add some extra outdoor LED lighting, but I've noticed overnight my battery is pretty spent by sunrise.

I know I can purchase another panel, and I can get another battery, or both. But I need information on the actual how-to, like "purchase this wire harness, this panel, this battery; place the harness here, attach to the batteries in a series like this, route wiring to panel like this, etc"....

I've YouTube'd a bit, but google has left me lacking in regards to what I mentioned. I'm hiking/gun/medical inclined lol... not so much detailed solar set-up.

Backwoods Solar is a great resource.

Got my copy at National Renewable Lab book store.

You might find you need a better battery. I have basically the same setup, 1 100W panel, 10A charge controller, and two batteries. Both batteries are deep cycle, one is small and RV specific, the other one is bigger and just a deep cycle Napa battery. I can run my panel all day, get a full charge on the batteries, and still have plenty of battery left in the morning.

I just picked up one of these, and am going to get a second one as soon as I can figure out where to keep them. I want to get the batteries off of the tongue, to keep thieves away. I got all of my solar stuff from Renogy, and so far have not been let down by it.
