Optional-Zamp Solar Power 95 Watt
Optional Equipment:
Available option for Creek Side, Timber Ridge, Wind River, and Black Stone.
Each Zamp Solar Module produces up to 95 watts of DC power with 5.3 amps at 17.9
volts of DC in full sunlight and has a 25 year limited warranty on power output. This
electrical power is fed to the charge controller indicator. The controller regulates the
current flow from the solar module so your battery won't be overcharged.
The charge controller can handle up to 30 amps of charging current. The system can be
expanded to add an optional second 95 watt Solar Module.
The 30 amp charge controller includes a built-in blocking diode to prevent night time
reverse' leakage from the battery. It has a digital meter that shows the RV battery
voltage status and amp meter that shows solar module charging current when charging
batteries.
Solar modules are mounted flat and produce optimum output during the summer in
direct sun but continue to produce power, on cloudy days. Winter performance is a little
less due to shorter days. The optimum charging time is between 9 AM and 3 PM. If any
part of the solar module is shaded charging power to the batteries will be greatly
reduced.
Deep cycle RV-type batteries will last many years if charged at proper voltage on a
regular basis. Daily charging will offset normal static RV current drains of propane
detectors, clock radios and similar 12 volt appliances.
Battery life can be dramatically increased if your battery is not allowed to sit in a
"discharged condition". Your solar charger will help maintain your RV batteries.
Maintenance:
The maintenance requirements for the solar modules are minimal. Clean dirty modules
with a soft cloth or sponge using water and a mild, nonabrasive detergent.
