Should you upgrade your Solar or your Battery?

G'day everyone! Sam here from Smart Caravan Solutions. I get this question a lot from clients. And I also hear lots of weird formulas people use for deciding if they need more solar or more batteries. Unfortunately, its a little more complicated than that, but with a little understanding of what they both do, you can decide for yourself, what will work best. There is lots of points not brought up in this video, and this video is very generalised. If you have any questions about these systems, feel free to leave a comment and I'll do my best to get you an answer. Keep in mind, all caravans are different, as are the way each person uses them. So generalised advice will only get you so far.
