Yet another solar panel question
Hello, there. I searched the forums for over an hour, and can't find anything that fits my situation on solar panel setup. We are not looking to mount one, we just want a portable one we can set up...

Solar panels don't 'run' things.
Until this last trip I would have agreed with you. However once our battery hit float, I could turn on every light, fans and even the furnace blower all on at once and wasn't able to draw down the battery. The controller upped the amps and the battery never dropped a 10th of a volt. Now our panel is a lot bigger than discussed here and we were not running the microwave or a entertainment center, still the panel kept the battery charged AND met out needs thru out the day.
There are members here that have bought several smaller panels and hinged them together like a suitcase for easier transporting and storage. I would aim for at least 100-150w.
