My First PWM Solar Run
Well, I guess you could say I lost my solar charging virginity... finally. :) Two 140w 12v Poly panels, in parallel, manual tracking, Isc 8.15a (x2), Voc 22.4, 50' (one way) of 6awg cable to Solar3...

Originally, the plan was to go portable, so that's how the adaptors came to be. And they've come in handy doing the test runs, but now that I'm going rooftop, there really is no need for them. I'll just keep them around for further testing, and such.
Are you planning on tilting them ?
Yes, tilt and twirl.
I was originally going to make a frame to hold both panels as one unit, but will likely go with two set-ups of one panel each, each with its own tilt'n'twirl. I have to allow for them not shadowing each other, so I've worked out how far apart they need to be, and I have the room. This way they'll only be sticking up about 30", instead of 60", when tilted high.
