You should rig the panels so you can tilt them, 2 times a day I go up and adjust them, takes me about 20 mins. I have 7 Carmanah 160 watt panels with 6 batteries. I'm mostly off the grid boondocking. During the day I can pretty much run anything in the coach except A/C, including microwave. I also have a Splendide washer/dryer combo that I can use during the day. Now I can't run more then 1 of those heavy demand units; but I can use them running off solar panels. ((I just added panel 7, but didn't update profile correctly. Added panel 7 but forgot to update Watts in profile. Actual solar watts capability is now 1120 watts.))
