What can you do with solar?

Hi,

Please reply with what your solar system can do to enhance your RV'ing experience.

Please list the number of watts, Charge controller, inverter (if any) and amp-hours of battery bank

256 watts Unisolar in a parallel/series configuration input to charge controller 33 volts.

Blue Sky 3024 di

2500 watt Cobra MSW inverter

875 amp-hours of battery bank.

Allows me to operate the RV as if it were connected to shore power. The only high wattage item I do not run is the air conditioner.

    No disrespect... But, as a measure of levity, I have a Dollar Store gallon size plastic picture and 4 family size tea bags. Makes wonderful ice tea in a few hours of sunshine. Saves on propane which I use to run my generator.:B

    210 Watt Solar with 12v panels rated at 17.4 volts MaxPower point, 232 AH twin 6v battery bank, Morningstar ProStar 15Amp controller and 300W GoPower PSW inverter. Used for weekend boondocking college footable tailgating and the occasional spur of the moment festival or other weekend activity. FW spends the majority of it's time as a mobile hotel room and support vehicle for horse shows with full hookups (approximately 60 nights a year doing horseshows)
