Why do I say it's solar when there are no panels on the truck itself? It usually gets charged from the excess power
produced by the panels on the roof of my house. Although, when there is not enough sun, I have been known to plug it
into the local utility to be sure the batteries do not sit too long in an uncharged state.
Adding more panels on the house would solve the problem. |
