That is nowhere near enough to run a conversion, and exactly right for holding a leisure or starter battery at float while the van is parked — which is the cheapest insurance against a dead battery in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eExpanding later\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fitted connectors make it easy to add to, but mixing panel sizes in one string causes the whole string to work at the weakest panel's current. If you think you will expand, either buy matched panels or plan to wire additional panels in parallel through their own controller input.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBefore you order\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRenogy supply the panel alone — no controller, brackets or extension cable.
