Interesting product

I read the info at the link you posted

Can you translate in easy to understand terms for us less 12v power literate folks how much solar power you would need to run this unit as well as the rest of your rig (compressor fridge, water pump, and a few lights, etc)?

In any event please keep us posted

I haven't dealt with that exact one. But I did put a Velet on the top of my kids camper trailer, https://forum.expeditionportal.com/...1102-trailer-build.235492/page-6#post-3177942 , and it looks to be exactly the same or very similar. Its been great so far, and uses very little energy. With a 300ah battery, it doesn't use but 120ah or less at night, around 10hrs of use. Then with only 700 watts of solar it charges it up, and its always at 100% before night fall. I'd buy again in a heartbeat.

Did you have to run bigger wires up to it?

No I did not. I used the wires they provided.

700 W! Oh brother, that’s pricey!

But I guess that answers my questions above,

I think it would be done with much less however. Just FYI. Probably a single 200 or 300 watt panel would do. I only added more since my location usually is in tree cover.

Use the amps way down at the bottom of the ad to determine how long you can run the compressor:​

• ELECTRIAL​

  Rated voltage
  
  DC 12V / 24V
  Current range
  
  21-58A / 15-35A
  Standby power
  
  1W
  Soft start function
  
  yes
  Pre-installed inline fuse
  
  100A / 80A
  Power cord specification
  
  6AWG / 8AWG
  Note: Most starter batteries can’t handle the continuous 58A (@12V) draw in Turbo mode. Use a LiFePO₄ battery with a 100A+ BMS or a 1000W+ AC-to-DC converter connected to your power station’s AC output for stable voltage and reliable, worry-free comfort.
