Who has Solar/ what controller/panels?
I read about MPPT vs PWM.. OK I understand.. But cost wise and from what I read here on this site, is a 250watt 24V panel from solar blvd and a PWM 30 amp controller is a cheap option. $170 fo...

I've used three big panels like that with the Eco-worthy 20 amp MPPT controller as portables. They are a pain to store but setting up only takes minutes really. A 250w panel and the Eco-Worthy should deliver around 18a for the better part of the day if you are tracking.
I still have a 230w/Eco-worthy portable but you can see in my signature what we use now.
Just looked up the eco worthy. Looks pretty good and only $99 bucks..
I have to look at specs but I would assume again that it would be best to couple it with a 24 volt panel.
What I read is the mppt controller would double the amps of the 24 volt panel? So that 8.7 amps that 240 panel produces would be around 16-17 amps.
Maybe I would put on the roof of the RV, but I wonder the performance when in the shade....
Probably my load per hour is about 5 amps. TV and a fan. Water pumps use, ect.
I was thinking of doing an invertor to the RV panel somehow.
Its probably wrong to backfeed the panel, and have the main breaker off... huh?
