Default Re: Solar Panel Battery Charger

If your intention for solar is to charge your trolling motor battery or extend it's life while using, don't waste your money...

You would need at least 200 watts worth of panels to get any real charging benefit and even @ 200 watts it would take days, not hours to re charge a battery. Not to mention, 200 watts of solar panels would be impractical for a 12 foot boat since they'd be close to the size of your entire boat.

About the only thing most are using solar for on boats is a trickle charge to keep your fully charged batteries topped off over time when the boat is in storage or sitting idle.
