Hi, my van has 1 x 135w solar panel, and two 110amp lesuire batteries,
at the moment i have a pwm solar controller which looks small and cheap, anyway here are my questions, can i mount 2x 80w panels in addition to my existing 135w panel and use this mppt Link Removed
I was also going to add another 2x 110ah batteries making 440ah total so that i have the solar power and battery bank capable of powering all my stuff which i am hoping will include an inverter and microwave in the near future
Basiclly i want to be self sufficient for power most of the year
At the moment i can get two days running a tv , lights, compressor fridge, thermotop heating/water, and laptop, then i have to start the van and charge up using the sterling bat to bat charger, i would like to be able to do at least 4 days and hopefully more in sunny summer conditions
All suggestions welcome
thanks pete
