I have been planning my 480WATT SOLAR PAnel setup to help charge a 300AH battery bank.
Been scrounging up parts I will need for a couple of years now for the roof of OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer... No way I could come up with $2000 haha...
Will most likely get two 120WATT Panels installed first and learn how to play with them before adding another larger 240WATT Panel... My OFF-ROAD camping drops my current battery bank down to 50% each day/run run and I recharge them back up to their 90% charge state starting at 8Am the next morning by connecting my trailer shore power cable to my 2KW Honda Generator 120VAC receptacle. Using my on-board smart mode converter/charger I can get from 50% to 90% charge state in around three hours of generator run time.
Am hoping the solar panels can take after I get past the high current charging and finish up my 90% charge state each day before losing the high sun.
My game plan at any rate...
Again nice install...
