How Much Solar ? First Hand Report
Just got set up here in Quartzsite, two 100 watt solar panels on my receiver hitch mounted polar mount, moving it 3 times during the day. Panes were partly shaded by an old power pole till 9 am, then...

Just for info, I bought a 100 ft roll of B&W 10ga twin lead when I started.
30ft from panels to controller, w/ a 20ft extension if ever needed. Then same wire from controller (4ft) to the 12v distribution center at the converter.
Ammeters and voltmeters all over the place :) It don't matter what SOC the batteries are getting to, their better off than when I was generating them.
Like said, they'll get fully charged on the trip back home,....or on the PD when I get home someday :)
