Hi Andree

A 75 watt Solavolt panel is mounted across the rear of the poptop and
is connected to a charge-controller near the left rear speaker. Another
cable goes to the main alternator wire. I have 2 deep cycle batteries
from Arc Battery in Sausalito connected to a heavy duty marine battery
switch from West Marine. They seem to last about 4-5 years.
