Re: Solar Battery Plant Question

I'm thinking we want to implement this in phases.

1st we install 6 batteries, with or'ing circuit.

2nd install a big enough charge controller to handle maybe 400 or 500 watts.

3rd install a single panel on the craft, maybe 200 watts.

4th install another panel on the craft, or 'apu' style on the ground to get us to 400+ watts.

So we have to do some planning.

It is a solar powered lake rake....
