[QUOTE="condor22, post: 122595, member: 1932"] After some considerable testing with the retailer and emails to the manufacturer of my concertina 110W solar panel, I now have a new one (replacement) For some reason the first panel would not produce more than 2.5amps. The one I have now has so far put out 9AH in a couple of hours of semi overcast conditions, peaking at over 5amps. I only had a 2.9amp load from my Engel, not enough for a real test. I want to wait for a bright sunny day, run my battery down a bit and put a 10amp load on my caravan. Leave the panel on all day from sunrise to sunset the next day and see what it puts out. Silly season and the weather have so far stopped me from doing this, but will post the results when done. [/QUOTE]
