Hi, I would like to know, Is there any advantage in having two 15W sola panels hooked together, will I be able to power items that need more wattage to run?. I have a pickup camper with one battery, but have a few electronic items that need charging, plus I have a 700 watt inverter. Will I need to install another 12v battery to run the things I need and also charge the system. Can you tell me what I need to do. Thanks

While Anthony's question was long ago, I thought I would add some input for others. Having two hooked together would provide you with 30W and double the amps. Dont try to run an inverter off of panels this size, it's electically inefficent. Buy DC adaptors for what you would like to run, such as phones, laptops, ect. Otherwise, your looking at getting a lot of panels, or one big panel.
