Suggestions for using "wasted" solar power?
Looking for suggestions... How would you use ~150-250w of power for 8-10hrs per day so it's not just "wasted"? I've got multiple RVs (Class C) and they each have 500w of solar panels, and 200AH ...

This is an expensive idea but might fit your uses. Buy a few so called solar batteries and swap them out to be used other places on a regular bases. I have 4kw of those batteries for use during short power outages at home. I just charge them from the wall but if I had a motor home with a bunch of solar sitting in the back yard I would store them there and swap them into the shop to use the power. My process now for longer power outages is to charge them with a generator so I don't have the generator running all the time. I have thought abut picking up some solar panels to recharge them but they are still on the maybe list.
Thanks for the suggestion. Thankfully, I do not have power outages at my home except on very rare occasions so I don't really have the need for backup batteries for that. In the event that my power was out for any annoying length of time, I can always bring my RV home and run the generator and extension cord to the house to power a few items.
