In my case, I have a solar panels (150W) under the shrinkwrap that keeps a
small charge on the large flooded house bank. The AGM starter bats
(Optima red top) can fend for themselves.


150 watt solar panels? Who makes them? And they work installed under the
shrinkwrap?

They are three 50 watt panels, on the hardtop. On a sunny day, they
do get into "charge" mode. I've never read the exact current, but
perhaps this winter I'll have a chance because I have a new charge
controller that reads the current.

Also in the late winter, I cut a hole in the shrink over one of the
panels, and from that point on there is plenty of juice

Cool. I had a single, 50 watt panel on an RV. Direct sunshine produced
slightly over 2.5 amps.

I thought you had a single, 150 watt panel and was curious where you got it.

The best source that I found for solar panels is Wholesale Solar.

The prices were so cheap that I was almost afraid to use them. I did
and have been very please with them.
