overcast gloomy weather around 20+ amphrs (as high as 26 )
actual rainy days as little as 11amphrs
there were days in early Nov 60+ amp hrs
days in Oct over 70 amphrs
enough to provide for the fridge for 24 hrs
my hope is that during spring and early summer when I don't need to park in the shade and run the A/C there will be enough power to run the fridge and charge the batteries so I can eliminate the generator on a few days
right now the solar is mainly doing "top off" duty, after I run the generator in the morning for coffee and recharge, the solar keeps the batteries topped off so they are still full at sun down, which happens before super, I run the.generator for an hr at super, then everything is on battery power until the next morning
