Thanks Jim......Your cogent comment is greatly appreciated...
I would use it when remote camping to keep the battery in the camper charged for laptop use and a few lights (LED) for a few hours every night and to run the waterpump for a shower in the morning. Everything else would be running off Propane.
I know I need to do more research on what these devices are drawing and would 45watts put it back during a typical day.
I have a 10,500 watt roof top unit on my house that SolarCity installed last September. So far I'm $185 ahead of the electric utility! I love opening that bill every month and seeing a credit instead of a $230 invoice!
So I'm no stranger to solar power, but I really don't know anything about it. I see RV systems costing near $1000 and that simply doesn't make sense to me at this stage in my RVing.
Thanks again!
