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,
I believe the Morningstar MPPT60 is more sophisticated than the Outback unit, as it essentially has three controllers. As power rises to the maximum, first one controller cuts in, then a 2nd and finally the third.
100 watt panels are often more expensive per watt than 140 watt panels. 240 watt panels may be a current "sweet spot" price wise.
There are three or four places that have great prices on panels--but shipping can be an issue. Where do you live?lc0338 wrote:
Thanks PT. I had already decided to go MPPT and was looking at the Outback Flexmax 60 (FM60). One place I priced it was $589 and the Morningstar MPPT60 listed for $689
Any recommendations for solar panels? Will 3ea 100 watt panels give me enough juice?
I live in Westville OK. About 90 miles east of Tulsa OK and 30 miles west of Fayetteveille AR. 2oldman say's 3ea 100 watt panels will give 18a in 5 hours. Doesn't sound like that will be enough juice. What do you think?
