I really like my solar panels but one thing I have underestimates is what to do with all of that energy.
We do remote camping and have found that the sun is pretty simple to capture, but you need something to hold on to it. A single 12 battery is totally insufficient, we have three house batteries and three more would be better, in-fact you can't have enough battery power.
Well, I have two 6v batts and two separate solar systems totaling 440w (300w & 140w)...Depending on needs, harvest and season, I often shut down the 300w system and top-off using just the 140w...I dry camp almost exclusively and find that this combination is very well suited to provide sufficient power for two.
