Just a quick report on a much discussesd subject. I started with two 12v 20W panels connected through a charge controller. These weren't sufficient to keep an original key fob receiver from draining my battery in under 5 days. Especially in the Scottish 'summer'.
I'd set up saved search on ebay for the part number of the 3rd generation of the key fob receiver. Eventually, one came up for a not too bad price compared with new. Item purchased and fitted.
Solar and the new receiver now working well together......![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
