Napa 85-5000 battery charger manual

Hi,
Yes, 100 watts, with two weeks of good solar weather between trips, and a good charge controller, would recharge the bank.
Assuming 464 amp-hours of battery bank, 280 watts would be wonderful and essentially eliminate generator use except for air conditioning. Panels cost around about $1 per watt. I do recommend selecting a charge controller that has temperature compensation.

Do you think a single 100W solar panel could charge 4 GC2 batteries assuming we gave it two weeks between visits? It would be nice to not use the generator.
