Hi guys, just saw this thread and thought Id throw this in. I found an old panel and controller in a custom van in the junkyard and thought Id connect it to my cranking battery just to keep it topped off. I dont remember the wattage but it was low, maybe 8-10w and the controller looks to be made in the 90s? but for a couple bucks I was willing t give it a try. The panel is about 12in square and rarely produces any glare. I mounted it directly to the hood but because of the frame has about an inch of air flow front to back. I was aprehensive to mount a panel to the hood but dont have a lot of space left to play with so it was a function over form decision. It works well and now that the proof of concept proved that this is something Ill do permanetly am considering a newer/updated system. Just my 2 cents! ; )
