Opinions on 100W Solar System
I've done my reading and research and think I have a system figured out. Limited space on the roof of my 815 so plan on going with a single panel. Maximum space available is 52 x 25, but optimum...

correct me if I am wrong, but isn't temp compensation more important for changing cold batteries (below freezing), and not really needed as much for spring-fall use?
(My system has temp compensation)
It's a linear issue... <>77deg f is optimum.... Voltage deviation up or down needs to be compensated for optimum charging without damage to the battery under hot (battery at 90 deg or warmer)... In the cold direction, the voltage needs to go up to optimize charging.
