Posted December 29, 2013 With modern day fire engines having MDC, radio chargers, flashlight charger (just to mention a few) the need to charge the batteries while not in the firehouse is imperative. I installed two sets of solar panels on our engine about two years ago. We were having starting issues and battery problems. Since the install, no problems. It's a pretty easy 4-5 hour install. Anybody with some mechanical and electrical knowledge can do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
