Solar Questions
Thinking about having a 160 watt solar panel installed on my Sunseeker. Other then keeping my batteries fully charged what other advantages will I have gain from having this installed. Any suggestions...
Forum Discussion
OK I have a question We are preparing to go full time in June. My class A is 34 feet and has two 6v coach batteries and a 12 volt chassis battery, I get how they work, recharge and purpose for each. We are looking forward to boon docking when we can and I know that takes power. Its to easier to ask then to answer, "how much solar will we need?" I am trying to cut back on our draw now by installing interior LED lights and other than that I don't think looking at our S&B electric bill (as some have suggested) is an accurate way to gauge.
BOTTOM LINE: I have room on my roof for at least 4 panels. If I install 4 100W panels and two more deep cycle 6 Volt batteries wire it all up to indoor charging indicator and a true sine inverter maybe 2000 watt? It seems like we can learn to live with the results. I am bracing for the attack of the teckees because my casual throwing together of data I just dreamed up is no doubt way to simplistic. Please understand that I am overloaded with data and if you know anything about the brain sensory flooding will make sense. Anyhow, I have $1000 to invest in the solar before we leave is there laymen talk on this? seriously
