We are planning on some overnight bike trips with our eBikes. We will need to bring our tent and other camping supplies. We will not always have access to AC charging. I developed this solar panel system that attaches to the trailer. It automatically aims the solar panel at the sun while we are riding. I will charge a second Bosch eBike battery. The control system in another project.
