Currently traveling through Baja, didn't have time to do a shakedown of my solar system in the desert before going on this trip and just realized (1) I need a larger solar panel, and (2) I have a smart alternator which means my dc-dc charger doesn't put out power most of the time.
Be nice to find a place where I can buy a larger panel- I know there are alot of places where I can get panels but seems like its mostly larger ones for homes, any advice on if any RV/Overland specialists in the La Paz/Todos?Cabo areas exists would be rad.
Also could use the IGN cable for Renogy DCC30S (or DCC50S), thought I had a non-smart alternator but turns out I was wrong. Assuming that's a long-shot but could maybe jimmy it by shoving/soldering some wire into it. Don't care if I damage it, its ********* unless anyway, why they gotta bury in the fine print it will only pull 15a from the alternator when it detects any voltage whatsoever from the solar panels?
