My eventual goal is flexible solar panel as an integrated part of the roof (think glued to the roof) so 100% roof area coverage then heavy acrylic coating to protect the panel surface (or thick clear coat??)
yes multiple batteries and deep cycle (good quality deep cycle) cells are a must. I am even thinking about going with a NIMH pack.
IF I manage to convert the head lights and all nav lights to LED that alone would have a huge impact on power draw as the head lights along on low beam consume 110 watts.
No charger needed I will just leave the alternator in the car and keep a "belt" in the trunk. if the **** hits the fan I slip the belt on and "pop" start the car.
