Can you have too much solar
(Preview)
I have 2 x 120a/h deep gel batteries.I run 2 x 70 watt panels,I find at times they just keep up with our power consumption in the motorhome over a few days ,and have had a blackout once. If I was to add another panel,do I have too match up the 70watt panels or can I go a bigger panel e.g 200 watt.Thanks
