Solar setup for recharging AGM

Hi BM members,

I'm needing some advice on a solar setup for recharging my boat's AGM battery. I don't know much in this area, so any advice is greatly appreciated. I could go to shop to get this info but I want to get pass the sales cr&p!

The main reason I want to change from recharging through the house mains is due to rising energy prices, especially here in Qld. I think over the long term it would be more cost effective.

Requirements would be:
  • To charge one 105amp AGM but down the track I will probably have others, as I'm looking at purchasing an electric only boat as well. Therefore, the need will be to charge multiple batteries at the one time.
  • A portable setup that can be used when camping

Therefore, if I can be advised on equipment needed (e.g. panels, regulators & wiring) and reputable brands and places to purchase from, that would be great!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers,
Tim

will be very interested to hear any feedback on this also. I've been toying with the idea of getting one of these also for those weekends away when there's no electrical outlet to run a conventional charger
