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....

Hi
Solar payback when compared to generators is viable.
Gains from MPPT with nominal 17 volt panels (12 volt battery bank) are around the 8% level (best case). I prefer MPPT but the pay back time is considerably longer. Above 17 volts then MPPT is the better choice.
If jumping on the 24 volt or 48 volt battery bank "wagon" then PWM is viable and a less expensive choice.

Solar is a money saving thing for me. I'm not buying all the global warming garbage floated by politicians.
