Ready to get my feet wet with Solar power
Thought I would post my idea here and let the experts tell me what I am missing. First off, I own 2ea RV's. 1 is a gooseneck horse trailer with living quarters and the other is a bumper pull prowler....

pianotuna - That is an awesome spreadsheet. There has been many man hours spent building it. Also, a really good price on the inverter. Thanks
Maybe wrong thinking but I had kinda pre-determined to go with an MPPT controller due to better effeciency in getting available energy from panel plus I had contemplated having the batteries and controller located stationary on the truck and deploying only the solar panels. With distance I thought I understood an MPPT controller may be the better choice, since I don't have either a pwm or mppt controller at this time. I would also like to have the batteries charged to 14.8 amps and held there for some time before going to float mode.
