That brings up another nasty secret about solar use: Once you get 200W, you start thinking what else would you like to do with free energy and upgrading comes into play. That may impact how you install everything and whether you want to upsize wire or get a bigger controller, initially.
Heh, what I really need is another battery bank for the solar panels I've already installed. Currently only 216Ah. But that could well require a heftier truck as my tongue weight has pretty much maxed out the truck's receiver hitch and rear axle now.
And then of course if we get a bigger truck, I'll probably "need" a bigger trailer, and a bigger solar system ...
Nah, not unless I win the lottery.
