It's probably best to say this is my system that does this for me in these situations. I did it this way because........
There are so many different different components that can be arranged in different ways filling individual needs in different situations that there is no one perfect solution for everyone. Argue one system from the ground up could take days and many many pages.
A few years ago I felt like most newbys in solar. I posted that I had found those panels cheap and all of a sudden there were components and formulas and concepts that I had no idea of flying around. It did not take long for the eyes to glaze over from overload. We had only been out in the rig a few times so I barely had a idea of what kind of power we used or would be using. Had I set up a system for what I thought we needed then, it would be terribly undersized today.
Now a few years down the road I'm ready to build my big boy system and get my toys off the ground. We may never camp in sub zero temps full time but once mounted, my batteries will. They will see from -20 to 105 f ( that's really cold and hot in C ;))in the storage lot and there will be no more coddling in the temperate garage between trips with the plug in chargers. The Eco's have served me well and I never thought I'd see them become a recommended controller, unfortunately they don't have the features to support the batteries going full time. It would only be snobbery if I didn't need those features and upgraded just because I could.
