Need source to purchase an additional solar panel

[Woody O]

I want to add an additional solar panel to the one that came from the factory to assist battery recharging. I noticed I can add can 5 more panels to the solar charger, so I'm thinking my only expense would be the cost of the panel and installation cost. So, I need recommendations on where to purchase the panel.

Instead of adding another one of the old 100w panels I installed three of these:

200+25% Watt 12 Volt Solar Panel Off Grid RV Boat highest power 12V you can buy | eBay

I also purchased a solar wiring kit and a new junction box for the roof.  For now I've left the original Heliotrope RV-45D charge controller.  In the future I would like to update it.

I’ve got similar panels. I think the size works really well for my roof layout. There’s a roof drawing on the solar panel mounting thread that shows how mine are laid out. 

If your dynasty roof is like mine, two of those panels tuck in real nice on the centerline between the kitchen vent and rear AC
