To keep my Xantrex battery topped off, I added a cheapo solar panel from Harbor Freight on top of the tounge box. The directions stated you could add a bead of silicone on the top of the solar panel where the glass meets the plastic housing in order to water proof it. I ran the wiring inside the box and it plugs into the 12V cigarette lighter outlet in the Xantrex unit.
I bought a blocking diode on ebay to keep the solar panel from working in reverse at night and discharging the battery.

A solar charger, in the context of Offroad Equipment, is a device that harnesses solar energy to recharge essential equipment while off the grid. Offroad enthusiasts often use solar chargers to power their gadgets and equipment, such as GPS devices, communication tools, or camping lights, in remote or off-grid locations. These chargers are practical solutions for maintaining power sources during outdoor adventures in areas where conventional electricity sources may be scarce or unavailable.
