Have gone back and forth yes and no then back agin ad nauseum. So I stopped thinking about it
and got on to the imp stuff.Galley cabs,what color to paint,size of bunks,how many lites needed,
And then my neighbor lectrician sat me down and explained it in simple terms. Sed 4 100 watt panels on roof
you do the install, I don't climb ladders any more, so I did, granted I'm ultra fussy about where to drill
holes in roofs, but then in 2 hours I had the 4 panels screwed into roof,and sealed, neighbor sed what to do with wires
I did it,fed them into hole near fan,I mounted the charge controller and inverter, he put fuses where needed, wired into batteries
3 hours and we were finished. Shazam the panels started producing,the batts started charging and we were off
Simple advice yeh It can be challenging and confusing, but some to the best advice I've ever read has been on this forum.
Straight to the point, and down to earth.Gen'l Ike in his book and interviews over the years after WW2 credited
American kids from the farms and ranches and from under shade trees as being worth 2 divisions in the overnite cando repairing of
damaged trucks,planes, radios etc. And I think some of their children and grand kids may be guys on here
Just do it Da==ed it
No. Say you bring the bank down all the way to 50%, and one set recharges back to 100% in seven hours. The 50-80% part at high amps acceptance may be two hours, and the last 80-100% takes five.southpennrailroad wrote:I purchased two sets of Harbor freight 100 watt solar panels. 8 panels total. Equals 200 watts. This may sound stupid but I originally had one set. I was happy with that but am I right in saying that two sets should charge my battery in half the time it took to one set hooked up?
Generally speaking I recommend 200W of panel for every 100AH of battery.southpennrailroad wrote:I am planning on getting three batteries before winter sets. Thanks for your response.
