I got the solar panel included with my V2 Max. Given that they have the custom wiring harness. I was wondering if anyone has added a 2nd solar panel. It looks like the one they sent is this one: https://www.bougerv.com/products/200w-flexible-solar-panel?variant=45037226754264
Wanted to know if someone could walk me through the wiring if I order a 2nd one?
i don’t have v2 max but what does the custom wiring harness look like?
I added a second panel to mine. Max 2023 Tacoma long bed build, my solutions and looking for ideas
The wiring is simple because GFC included another wiring harness, there is a yellow and black and a red and black. The size and space you have for adding another panel is dependent on the truck it sits on as that determines the width of the V2 Max. Here is the connector set I bought: Amazon.com : Solar Wire Connectors, Solar Connector, Crimping Disconnect Tool 51 PC | Houseables Crimper, Connector Kit, PV Kit, Household, Panel, Cable, 12 Pairs 4mm, 2 Spanner Wrench, AWG 14-10, 2.5/4/6 mm² : Tools & Home Improvement
Did you attach the 2nd panel to the yellow & black? I was hoping to still use those for some exterior lights. I was wondering if I can daisy chain into the existing solar panel easily?
You can use one harness for both solar panels. I just chose not to. I ran a separate wiring harness from each solar panel to the Jackery because it has two solar input connections. This avoids having to combine the panels into a single circuit, keeps each connection within its applicable electrical limits, and makes troubleshooting easier. It may also improve performance when one panel is partially shaded.
