204 watts Kyocera panels at 22 degrees latitude. Until the sun emerges for 20 minutes from the parota shade output is 3.1 amperes. Then about 190 watts available until it is shaded again. Temp inside goes from say 83 degrees to 85 and stays there until 8PM or so. In full sun the temperature would exceed 100F.
Shade driven lifestyle down here. That and jack-in-the-beanstalk vegetation. A 15 foot square garden patch yielded over 100 canteloupe in four months with intensive gardening technique. Around garden edge 2' fish net stretched taut. Two 3' stringers running parallel to sun's track.
Even better stage 1, a quiet neighbor -- stage 2, no neighbor. I can lock the generator shed. I would need a fifty thousand dollar fence to protect it's equivalent in solar panels, and a guard. No thankee.
