Solar panel charging lead acid..for now.

[Cfeeeo]

Hello all,
I have my Renogy 100W panel charging my Solix C300 but would like to add a switch to change over to charge my lead acid (2x6vt) when Solix is 100 percent. Don't have high energy needs in my small Jayco.
Can I wire solar panel to controller to rv inverter (dc side) or should i go direct to battey.
Cheers

Clyde

The DC side of your RV converter with the controller (not direct from solar!) will be fine as it connects to the house battery anyway. Or even the DC side of the inverter will too, if that is what you really meant, as long as the inverter off/on is controlled internally. IOW, anything that connects directly to the battery will work with your solar controller with wires that can handle the current, which is not that much at 100w worth of solar.

So take your pick.
