    Good work Glen, solar stuff is so addictive, everything at my joint is powered by daylight now !!!

    Excellent video, as usual, from you. Your videos are so educational that I learn a lot from you. Keep up the good work. Let us know how you got on with the oven increasing the voltage.

    Hi Glenn, yes would be interested to see a little bit more about that voltage step up device you’ve got connected to your oven. And what the maximum voltage the oven can handle.

      These ovens are designed to run while traveling, when the car engine is running. Hence why people have issues with these ovens when running them from a 12 volt battery on it's own.
      A car alternator can give up to 14.5 volts so I would have a guess a 15 volt step up converter will be at the upper limits of the ovens operating voltage. Many people use the 15 volt step up converters in these ovens without any issues, so I am guessing it should work fine..... time will tell.

      @ ah yes of course, that makes sense.

      When I am out camping in the caravan, I often plug several different solar panels together, running them back to either the solar controller in the caravan or to one of the battery boxes I have in the car.
      Sometime I will plug my Kings 200 watt solar panel into the caravan, into the same input line I use for the flexi panel I have on the roof of the caravan. Then both the Kings folding panel and the roof mount flexi panel feeds back into the mppt solar controller in the caravan.

    Lovely Ep once again, I use house panels and Mppt controllers for my camping setups they shirt all over 12volt panels for amp outputs, Yes a few on youtube have done that volt step up to there 12volt ovens, and it works well,

      I do the same with house panels (24 volt panels) through the MPPT with some of my other projects at home. The problem with using the DC to DC chargers with built in MPPT, their maximum input voltage is usually around 32 volts, too low for the house panels. I wish the DC to DC controllers had a higher input voltage.

      @@TheSimpleLivingAussie Ok bugger, yes I have a couple 100 volt to 14,4 volt 40 amp Kickass Mppt controllers i paid around $130 for them on sale a few years ago, they work well, I really need 60 amp ones but, one day, our panels are all around 45volts,

    Did you just use those junctions to connect them to one plug for the dctodc?

      I cut off the MC4 connectors put Anderson plus on all my (smaller) solar panels as I am always changing thing around as I experiment with different projects. I use Anderson plus for all my connection points as they have prover to be the most reliable.
      For this project / set up you see in this video, I parallel connect all the panels back to one connection point. Then I run a cable from that connection point to the battery box inside. The cable plugs into the DC to DC charger input port on the battery box.
