Is your 12V system no longer keeping up with your off-grid travel needs? It might be time to upgrade your system's voltage - we'll take you through which voltage is right for you and how you can upgrade πͺ
Sizing your cables correctly for your system is super important π You need to ensure your cables are big enough to:
β Manage your total current draw
β Minimise the potential voltage drop
Otherwise, your system won't be as efficient and safe as it could be.

SmartSolar vs BlueSolar - What's the difference? π€
Most of the features are actually the same; the biggest difference is:
β SmartSolar has built-in Bluetooth
β BlueSolar doesn't, and you have to buy an additional dongle to get connectivity
So, unless you have an AGM battery, the SmartSolar will probably end up being the better & cheaper investment.

β‘οΈ Series vs. Parallel: Which solar setup is right for you? βοΈ
Understanding how to wire your solar panels is key to getting the most out of your off-grid system. While a watt is a watt either way, the configuration changes how your array interacts with your system.
π£ Go series if you can easily control shading and want longer charging windows.
π€ Go parallel is shading is unpredictable and you need a consistent charge current.
Let us know in the comments how you've wired your setup π
