Factory fitted Solar
Energy System
Depending on specification, your tourer may
be fitted with a solar panel and regulator.
This solar panel and regulator may provide
additional 12v power whenever sunlight is
available to the panel, and this will be directed
to the leisure battery whether the control panel
is ON or OFF, and regardless of the position of
the SYSTEM SHUTDOWN button. If a factory
fitted alarm system is present, that alarm will
in turn be able to use the leisure battery as a
power supply. Conditions allowing, the system
keeps the leisure battery 'topped up' during
storage, and will provide a daily boost to the
leisure battery when camping without a mains
230V supply.
Battery power
As a guide an 80W panel is capable of
supplying up to 4.8 amps, +/- 1.5%.
