I have two 100W panels on the pop-top roof, a charge controller and a dedicated solar battery (isolated from the engine-starting battery) that runs my fridge, water pump, UV treatment lamp, interior lights, air compressor and charges all my electronics (laptop, kindle, cameras, etc.) directly from 12V DC.
I can leave the Jeep parked without running the engine for days and easily have enough energy to meet my needs.
The system has been amazing, and it's fantastic to be electricity self-sufficient in remote West Africa, where grid power is often non-existent
