My salvaged panels that will be used for float charging are about 7.5 ocv at .4 amps each. I will just serries up 3 of them and wire them straight on to the batteries.
This mod will be very simple, I can do it all in an hour or so.
The high power panels will be glassless fiberglass backed panels custom made by me (they will be a much larger version of my float charger panels). I figure I will need about 40 cells in a stack. I can make the stack any size and shape I want as long as its some kind of square or rectangle.
I already have 1000 watts worth of raw 6x6 solar cells back home.
Edit:
I will likely wire up the high power panels with ether a charge controler or time delay. Any time the key is on and the sun is out the big panels will be sending power to the batteries. Just need to work out how I will cut power off.
