Just another question on Solar
I have read a lot of threads on solar installs and I have a question or two. I am thinking of adding solar to my toy hauler. Planning on about 500watts. Also planning on two 6 volt batteries to st...

Modern TV's use about 250watts leaving 250watts to charge batteries.Just remember once the sun goes down limit TV use.
Modern TV: Phillips 32" HD LCD TV uses 125 watts.
Limit TV after the sun goes down: No Sun, No Power.
Outputs: I didn't feel like stating the reduce rated power. A 500w system will generator at least 60% of the rated power: 300watts if the efficiency is below 13%. So technically my tv will use: 125watts allowing 175watts to the house batteries. I live in the deserts where we get a lot of sun. So if you live in a cloudy area the output will be reduced.
