Installed the last two solar panels

[corn18]

Put 2 more 200W panels on. 1200W for 400Ah of LiFePO4 should be about right. Runs my 15k BTU A/C, fridge and some lights just fine.

What size inverter do you have?

Looks like a long trailer. You still have a lot of roof available for more panels.

You have enough solar, battery and inverter to be able to enjoy the power you need away from hookups.

I do have a lot of room. I pulled the 5er home yesterday to dewinterize and get it ready for camping. I usually pull out the 100' of 50 cable to connect the 5er to my house. This time I just turned on the inverter and ran the A/C and residential fridge off the batteries. I was getting 800W of solar so a lot of amps. Took me four hours to get everything done before we left for camping. The batteries were still @ 96%. That is really nice.

Well...if you're anything like the rest of us "Junkies" the more solar and batteries you add the more you'll want

I have 1600W and 1000Ah and still thinking of adding 1600 - 2400W more

Great Job!

800 watts coming off the roof and 4 hour of run time I would have expected your battery to be around 50~60% max. what size is the roof unit ,13.5k energy saver? My 15K heat pump will draw down my 500 amp hours in 2.1/2 hour with zero solar. I am installing 2000W on the roof now , so I hope to be able to turn on the AC for a few hour around sun set and cool it off and still have enough for the residential frig and CPAP on over night and full solar charge the next day( if its overcast it will take a generator or DC to DC charger from the truck while on the road to charge back up.)

It wasn’t hot out (72 Deg F) so my 15k. BTU coleman didn’t run a lot. It was 76 in the camper when I got home.

Corn18,

What make/model panels do you have and where did you purchase these?

Thanks

Man, that’s a lot of roof acreage without much blocking solar room
