Show me your solar set up

@RbrettM I like the West Mountain Radio Epic PWRGate. It’s small so it fits in my battery box along with a 50 Ah Bioenno Power LiFePO4 battery. It’s programmable so I can set it to charge the battery at the 10A it expects. I can (but haven’t) connect it to the starter battery and program it to use that input only if voltage is over a certain value (ie. when alternator is on). It’s a slick little unit. I ran an ARB fridge in the back of the truck all summer with this setup and didn’t have any issues. Using Anderson Power Poles in the battery box for everything (except for the fridge) makes connecting/disconnecting easy.

I should label it a bit better, but the left side of the battery box is input, with the sun icon being solar and the battery being starter battery (or other DC input).

The DC charger fits in the box too, I have it velcro’d to the battery here.
