Has anybody put a solar unit on a reefer trailer/job shack? Recently we put our def tote into our 43' job shack so we didn't have to haul it around separately and now we was thinking of putting a solar unit to charge the batteries and could also mount lights inside it to see better. The pump on def tote is 12 volt and could also get 12 volt light if I need to.
We do have Milwaukee cordless tools in it so was thinking about and inverter to charge the batteries. Another thought I had was if the gps base station wasn't to far away like within 100' could string a cord out from job shack and use the solar power to run it when the batteries went low so then we would have all these meth heads and whoever else hauling off with the batteries by the gps base station.
Do you have a good source for solar panels?
Do I need a regulator so it don't over charge the batteries?
How do I know what size of solar panels and how many watts as the def pump don't run very much.
