I find solar/ lfp boring in a good way. Set the parameters for the system. Sun rises, power goes to what's needed and the balance charges batteries. Sun goes down, scc goes to sleep and batteries power the 5th wheel. Groundhog day over and over and over. No hen pecking other than occasionally wiping the panels off of dust. Just working peacefully in the background.
I certainly can see that but here in Idaho we have had an abundance of snow and ice keeping me from roof mounting any panels..As careful as I try to be,it's rare a plastic vent cover goes unbroken over the winter..Keeps 'em new and nice..LOL
When relying on a charger to keep the batteries in the golden zone is a bit more complex requiring Voltage/AH to assume and maintain..Enter voltage chart..
Being a snowbird does have its advantages. Now in AZ boondocking since January averaging 3.5kwh daily. Lots of power.
