40 watt solar Panel

Excuse my ignorance, What use is the 40 Watt solar. we found under our trailer bed? We just have one Marine Deep Cycle. battery.

The only uses that comes to mind....
1. If someone had a 100 watt solar setup with a 10 amp controller, they may be able to add the 40 watt and max out the controller and get some additional solar generating capacity.
2. If say a 100 watt system was fixed on the trailer, the 40 watt panel could be moved around to avoid shade.
3. Final thought, if someone had a smaller capacity solar generator the 40 watt could be used to recharge the solar generaor.
My thoughts is that #3 is the likely possibality.

They forgot to remove it since it was in the basement?... 😁

No. When I asked what the fitting was on the side of the Battery/Propane cover. The previous owner told me it was for the Solar and the panel was under the bed. I think he only used the trailer couple of times.
