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 ...

Grit dog,
Ah but that depends on your point of view. If his rv storage was near home, he could, if nothing else, reduce his bill at not much cost. Or he could do net metering with the excess power.
If my RVs were stored at my home I would likely try to figure out how to tap into that excess solar. But my RVs are stored in a yard 1/2 mile away.
Currently my solar keeps my coach batteries and chassis battery topped off (easy as there is very little draw), and powers an alarm system on my RV (motion sensor inside RV, motion sensor pointing at my cable wrapped catalytic converter, and motion sensor in the large rear storage compartment). But all of that can probably be powered by ~30-50w of solar, and my RVs have 500w of solar. Hence this post...looking for anything useful to use the rest of that potential solar power while in storage.
