Solar power is up and running on my truck’s camper shell. Accessory battery is charging at 14.5 volts all while the engine is shut off. Probably the battery will be fully charged soon and the solar controller will just be floating the charge. Everything is nice and tight, no rattles while driving, looks fairly neat. I think I did a nice job. Me happy.
