Education on my Factory Installed Solar Panel

kimmerfnp

Greetings
i have a 2019 T@b 320 that has the factory installed solar panels. I Was not provided any info  on them so I feel lost. I’ve researched on this site. I think I knew more about this RV than my dealer... Can someone please educate me. Where is the solar controller?  I haven’t dry camped yet but is there something I’m supposed to do to use it etc?  I’d appreciate any info.

Thanks
Kim

With factory installed solar, nothing to do but use it.  You should have the Victron MPPT controller, and you can download the Victron App for yiur smart phone you’re connect via Bluetooth to the MPPT controller, to make sure it is set for your battery type.  There have been several posts here explaining how to do this.

What model 320 do you have?  I might make a difference in where the controller might be.  It will be a box that looks a like this...since every controller looks pretty much the same.  As Denny said, find the Victron App for your phone and see what your panel and controller is saying.

I believe the factory installed controller for the 320 is under the driver side bench.  If you don’t have the Victron, you may have a generic controller.  Check under the bench first.

There’s one bench that is screwed shut where converter is. I haven’t unscrewed That bench to see if it’s there yet.

That is where it will be, with the rest of the electrical system.

Of all the benches in the trailer, that is the one you must open.  A whole world of trailer fun in there!  And, toss the screw.

don Don’t forget inside is a high voltage, high amperage zone, be careful where you reach in and what you touch.
