Mike, The best way (IMHO) is:
Solar panel to charge controller input. Charge controller output to starting battery Install a combiner or ACR so that when a charge is in the system (over 13V), it combines the batteries.

If you can take it, I would urge you to do so. It has to be one of the best courses I have taken. I bought a solar panel for my C&C 30. I can attach it to the boat fine, but hooking it up so it can recharge the batteries is a mystery. Is there anyone out there who can give me some good instructions that I can understand? My specifics are: There are three batteries (one starting, two house) that have to be charged It has to be on all the time It needs the charge controller to be entered into the equation somewheres. Assistance would be greatly appreciated! Mike Casey Halifax, Nova Scotia C&C 30 1980 _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
