No better sight then electricity being generated quietly whilst camped at a nice quiet spot....

Re: solar panels
Only 2, at the moment we have 7 . I will admit the first 3 are older 80W units, the next three are supposidly 100W units and the last sucker is rated at 120W. Now with full sun, on a perfact day they can generate about 50A or a bit higher thru the regulator, into 12V system shows that the rated output is a sales mans dream.

Re: solar panels
I suppose I should have given their rated wattage. They are each 200 watts , and I have a 230amp agm battery.
There wasn't much else I can do at this time the ground is still to wet to put the bus back on the drive way.
Maybe tomorrow??

200w @ nominal 12V.

Don't forget to hook it all up at 1 min past mid night on a new moon! You don't want to lose all them sparks!
Don't worry Carol......... it'll all work out good in the end.

Re: solar panels
They is big panels Bernie, that must have been a big effort to get them up on the roof without the wind turn them into a hang glider. Are you running individual cables down to the regulator from each panel?

Re: solar panels
I wonder if you can get a 12 volt toaster... With 2 X 120 panels a toaster would work well..
