I've just set up my solar panel system, which is working out great. I have 4 100 W panels on my roof connected a Mastervolt solar controller.
The controller is hooked up directly to the battery bank on one side and has an output on the other to provide excess 12 V power. I'm thinking of running this to a standard 12 V plug for availability. Any other ideas?
Also, if anyone uses a Torqueedo electric outboard, do you know if it is ok to plug the 12 V source directly to the battery? I ask as I'm not sure if a regulator is required or if it is built-in.
