Panels For Mena

Hi mena,

You are "locked in" to low voltage panels--they cost more per watt.

$136.99 is not $150 and it includes shipping.

I had to clear my browsers history and refresh the page to see that lower price. 3 of those costs more than 2 of the 150's though.

I'd shoehorn in as much wattage as you can fit in the space available and not worry about price as much.

You'll never meet the minimum bulk current requirements for your large battery bank, but there is a lot to be said for offsetting one's daily usage by some factor, So I'd aim for that.

Goal is 50-70Ah per day. It's not to cover my usage but to cover future convection oven use. I want to start at 300-ish W and go from there. The two 150's or even 140's would work for me. Anything else would be gravy. I really like those Evergreen 120W's but I can't fit 2 of those lengthwise.


EDIT: Those Renogy panels are 26.7" wide according to the manufacturer so the issue is width not length (39.7"). So I could not get 4 of those in the space allotted.
