Hi all, I am looking at installing a second solar panel on the roof of motorhome purely to support a powerbank which has a solar controller built in.
My question can I leave the solar panel unconnected for long periods of time, no solar controller attached? There is conflicting information on Google, but most seem to say it’s not a good idea as the panel could deteriorate over time due to the heat from the sun’s rays not going anywhere. I am looking at adding a Victron 130w smartsolar panel.
Leaving panels unplugged should have no significant impact. There will be a voltage on the wires so make sure you take the necessary precautions.
