crystal clear blue sky cool air
Solar Haul
930.3 Watt hrs
69.89 Amp Hrs
BUT..this equals 1.84 hours of full panel potential
these solar charts that list location data and say X.X hrs
are avg across the year for panels fixed and tilted to face the sun
friday night was a (for us) heavy power night
3 hrs of TV, several hrs of PC afterwards
and 2 hrs or more of 200w 120v electric heater warming my feet & legs while i sat at the computer
yep electric heat powered from the inverter about 18amps drain at 12v
40~50 ampHrs to keep me warm while using the PC
the front end of this rv gets cool/cold at night
we also used the electric blanket on the bed friday night and last night
anyway heavy use friday night. good clear sky on Sat..
equal a nice Solar haul..and yes i used the generator and 100amp wfco to make up the difference
i don't use my little "personal heater" very often, but its nice to have around
its main use is when on the road, i use it on inverter power, to warm the bedroom on sleep breaks and overnight stops, the driving restores the power charge to the house batteries
