Thanks much for your additional off-topic comments ... I trust that Mex is not too upset with us (me -> it's my fault).
Your comments pretty much confirm what I thought regarding an optimized portable system:
- Wire the two hinged 60 watt panels in series to both pump up the voltage and cut the current in half so as reduce wire resistance losses,
- then optimze use of the higher incoming voltage by mounting an MPPT controller right at the batteries,
- and stay away from roll-up flexible panels because you need a frame for them to aim them which negates compactness ... or forget aiming them and then run the risk of people/animals/ants stepping on them if you merely lay them on the ground.
Your comments did not (that I noticed) address the age-old question of "poly or mono?".
Thanks again .... and I apologize, Mex!
