For a start, Electricity is some thing I dont know any thing about,
My
boat had 280 Watts of
solar panels on it, with a
wind generator and
engine alternator, 80 Amps,
1800 Watt xantrax Invertor, 110 volts, Useless in
Australia,
I put the
panels on my RV with just a 20 amp Chinese controller
560 Amph house batterys,
Its been working fine for 4 years,
All my electrics shown got drowned when I sunk it,
With my
boats new
installation this is what I have bought for it,
4 x 300 Watt x 12 volt Krycera
Panels, $235-00 each, 1580 X 808 mm, I wanted the narrow panels as they fit on the
boat better, Plus the two on the
Davits out the back that can be angled for the sun and dont get shaded,
18.9 Volts max, VMP, Class A,
My new controller is 40 amp, MMPT, Was about $60-00, Chinese,
The tracer from what I have read, I wont bother putting in unless the Sparky recommends putting it in,
The link Pro was about $300-00
The
Rutland meter is for the
Wind Genny,
The new invertor, 5000 Watt, 10,000 Watt surge, Full Sine, Came from the same Chinese manufacturer as my Xantrax invertor, $500-00 Delivered,
I will be
buying two new house batterys, 280 Amphr, AGM's, Approx $500-00 Each,
And a start
battery,
Please feel free to comment, Thats how I learn,
Cheers, Brian,
