The 12V power source solar panel
So I came across this on EBay... and they are very local to me... but it sounds like a $100 experiment gone bad. The specs on this thing are waaaaaaay different than any other 12V solar panel that...

Don't forget to "calibrate" your new Solar30 so you know what voltage it will go to above what you set it at.
The T-1275s like to be at 15ish for a good while after they get that high and since they don't gas much, don't lose water much. But meanwhile at that time of day, around supper time, you want to use the inverter for things, so that means keeping the voltage under 15v so the inverter won't alarm off (some have higher limits than 15)
So it is a conflict you have to work around at the time. Disconnect solar, run the inverter, connect solar back up. Or leave solar at 14.9 (which might mean set it at 14.6 or whatever :) )
BTW it is amp hours not amps--you keep doing that!
Amp hours it is. I run a 150W inverter... I need only 3.5 to 4 amps per hour to run a little LCD 22" TV at night.
If I need 120V for anything else, the Honda 2000 gets put into service to run the microwave, or both of them to run the 13.5 AC unit. Probably not necessary to run the AC in AZ this winter.
