• 1 Kyocera 80 watt (4.5 amp) Solar Panel

• 4 Sets of Tilt Mounts (tilt to either side of the rig)

• 6 Lifeline AGM 12 volt Batteries

• Blue Sky Solar Boost 3024i 30 amp Charge Controller with remote IPN
  NOTE: can piggy-back another of the same controller to handle more solar panels

• Prosine 2.0 Inverter/Charger with remote panel

• 2000 watts pure sine wave with 4500 watt surge capability

• Remote temperature sensor - mounted on battery in storage compartment (unvented)

• 10 gauge wire from panels to junction box

• 6 gauge wire from junction box to batteries

• 300 amp T fuse

• 50 amp bullet fuse
