[QUOTE="PabloP, post: 570881, member: 4430"] Question for you Condor, do you [u]need [/u]to isolate the solar panels when charging from another source? As a Solar panel is intrinsically a diode, so as long as the voltage does not exceed their rating, I would have thought that they are self-protecting? Also a couple of days ago a friend said that the doco for his Setec (not CTek) caravan charging system also says that it should be isolated if charging from another source, e.g. his car or solar. What is you take on that as I would have thought that it too should have internal protection against that sort of thing? Rob P. [/QUOTE]
