nice setup, here’s another option, i run a 4 gauge wire off the truck battery and mount a plug on the trailer hitch and make leads off the dump trailer battery and plug them together and let the alternator basically power the trailer pump, gives you endless dumps and it charges the battery quicker than that puny seven pin wire.

.5 amp charger on a 70-100amp battery will take a long time to charge. If you get 5h of charge in the fall that’ll take you a minimum of 24 days to charge it. Might need a bigger panel depending how many times you hoist your trailer in a week. Also don’t plan on the 7 pin charging. Most only put out 5-8 amps. Best is a bigger panel or a tender. Cool set up though.

Great idea. From my experience with solar panels on my house roof and the panel I installed on my travel trailer, you should leave the panel out even if it’s cloudy all week. They do produce some power with a cloudy sky. Personally, I’d mount it permanently.

Hey Adam, Love your videos, I watch every one! That panel will be a big help. I have owned a dozen dump trailers (several at a time) over the last 25 years for my roofing company. We really run into trouble if we are dumping them two or three times a day. I keep long jumper cables in my truck just in case and a spare battery on a trickle charger in the shop. I put a solar panel on the tool box but the guys smashed it throwing shingles off the roof lol. A good deep cycle marine battery makes a big difference too.

I am glad you encouraged people to move it out of the rain when possible. Where I worked a huge system of photovoltaic were installed in a new building rain got in and shorted them out. The builder and manufacturer replaced them several times and finally abandoned the system because they could not get them to survive a rainstorm. Small units can be good or bad but why put them to the test.

I like this idea and I agree with you about removing it from the elements when not in use, those cheap solar panels don’t hold up well in the elements. I’d screw everything down to some plywood, add a clamp of some sort and clamp it on the trailer someplace when in use. This idea might work for a battery on a trailer wench also. Thanks for posting.

Those panels are pretty slick. I use to use them to keep my old plow truck battery charged thru the cigarette lighter. Anyway yeah dead battery on dump sucks. What I did was buy some high amp Anderson connectors along with a set of long heavy jumper cables. With this setup I made a long pigtail connected in the box with remaining wire for short ones on trucks and tractor. It’s just like hooking up the jumper cables but not having to find them or open hoods. Same principle as a removable winch or some snowplows. I actually wondered first a guy could have a portable hydraulic power unit with quick couplers that could hook in with either it’s own tank or suck out of trailer reservoir.

I have a 16ft 15kgvwr dump trailer. I dump a lot every day and one thing I did was wire another battery in parallel. You don’t have to charge it nearly as often and it dumps pretty quick because the draw is spread over both batteries. You have ample space to put another one into the box like I did.
