Just Starting Solar Research
Man, there's a lot to read and digest with possibly installing a small solar panel. I very recently replaced my original 1-stage converter/charger with the Progressive Dynamics PD4600 series conve...

I'm working on my "audit" right now.
My overhead lights are 0.9W (LEDs)
My sconce lights are 2.16W (LEDs)
Need to figure out the fridge and the water pump and the MaxxFan. Oh, and the CO detector.
So, since the fridge is running all night, does that mean the battery will never be "at rest" ?
If I wanted a 30' extension cable (instead of the current 10') for the solar panel, would I need to go from 12 gauge to 10 gauge?
Is it possible to "mix" the gauge (connect a 12 to a 10)? (I just bought a 20' 12 gauge and hate to waste the money, cheapo that I am...)
What would be the maximum length for using 12 gauge before having to go to 10 gauge?
