A solar charge controller is an essential part of a solar charging system. It goes between the solar panels and the battery bank where it regulates the amount of voltage and current reaching the batteries.
A solar charge controller protects your batteries by preventing an electrical overload or excessive discharging. It also optimizes the performance of your solar system.
A solar charge controller also lets you monitor the state of your system. You can check how much power the solar panel is generating or how quickly the batteries are charging or discharging.

SOURCE: solar battery charger

Yes, but the efficiency of solar cells is terrible. Its one thing to use free sunlught to charge the cells, its another to have to pay the electric company to do it. If you can access the batteries in the solar rig easily and they are in the correct voltage range, I think you would be better off getting a battery tender (trickle charger). Just let the van sit outside until the batteries are fully charged, then connect the battery tender to keep it fully charged.

That is correct the solar panel will charge the RV battery which is connected to an inverter. This converts the DC power to AC for the AirCon.

SOURCE: outdoor umbrella with solar leds with switch, doesn't turn on

If you connect to solar panel for the lights to go on do the lights go out at night? If so, and the they do not light when hooked to the batteries then the batteries may have no charge and may also not be holding a charge. Put in new batteries to test.

Can you connect FBI2000W inverter to solar panels?

Yes, it is possible to connect an FBI2000W inverter to solar panels. In fact, inverters are an important component of solar power systems, as they convert the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used to power homes and businesses.
To connect the FBI2000W inverter to solar panels, you will need to:
  1. Install the solar panels on your roof or other suitable location and connect them in a series or parallel configuration to achieve the desired voltage and current output.
  2. Install a charge controller between the solar panels and the inverter to regulate the flow of electricity and prevent overcharging of the battery bank.
  3. Connect the output of the charge controller to the input of the FBI2000W inverter using appropriate wiring and connectors.
  4. Connect the output of the inverter to your home or business electrical system, following all relevant electrical codes and safety guidelines.
It is important to note that connecting solar panels to an inverter can be a complex process that requires specialized knowledge and expertise. It is recommended that you consult with a professional installer or electrician who can help ensure that your system is properly designed, installed, and configured for optimal performance and safety.

Will my 18watt solar panel charge a car battery and how fast?

If you hook it up correctly and the Voltages match... yes.

As for how long... THAT depends on a number of Factors... How much sun, What quality is the Solar Panel, Placement of the Panel.. the goes on and on... But you CAN charge a Battery...I charged a Battery for quite some time using a Large Solar array.... We were Camping an using the Battery for Lights Radio and Fridges.... So it CAN be done

Would like to know more about the solar panels discussed and shown on 2nd October 2014 at 05:15+

Solar panels are typically rated at .3 volts per cell. These cells are connected in series until they add up to 12 volts,24 volts or 36 volts depending on the solar system. The more cells you have the higher the charge rate of the batteries connected to the system. The DC voltage from the cells are used to charge the batteries then the voltage from the batteries is used to drive a DC to AC- convertor which is the power used by your home. The more cells connected the quicker it will charge the batteries and the more batteries connected the more power the solar system can provide.

That's an issue with the inexpensive charge controllers that is known. The internal voltage regulator and pulse width modulator isn't performing correctly and interpreting the power from the panel. I recommend you look at getting an AIMS Power charge controller. Their 30A model is flawless.

Using a battery/volt meter, check if the battery has a full charge. Also check if there is an on/off switch on the back of the solar panel. If the batteries are removable and are standard batteries, charge them using an AC battery charger the first time. If not, you may have a defective solar panel and should return it to the store/manufacturer.

the solar panel is just to charge your inverter,if it is charging and the inverter is on it will drain the current the solar panel is supplying to the batteries,this makes it look like it is not charging ,so i advice you to switch off you inverter when charging it,get another set of batteries connected to your solar panel then charge both, let them be separated so that the new one is not in use so that when solar is out you can switch to the other set of batteries
