I purchased a 30 watt solar panel with a charge controller. My off grid cabin is wired like a house and when needed i use a generator to power. But i also have 6 12v LED lights which are 4 watts each and also a 12v ceiling fan, normally a fully charged battery lasts me 4-5 days or so before I have to charge the battery. I have always brought the battery home to charge and then back to the cabin next time up. So i bought the solar panel with the thought that I can hook the panel up to the charge controller and then to the battery to keep it charged and never have to bring it home again. Am i correct with my thinking, the 12v wiring has alligator clips that I connect to the battery when I get to the cabin 4 of the lights are connected to each other and have a single wall switch and the other 2 have a built in switch.
