I had 200 watts at the lease setup as portable, but now went perm
Since I'm in SE Texas we have alot of sun , not too much shade
I had 2 panels at the lease on a water tote, but since I plan on doing alot more road trips I went perm on the roof with 400 watts. I had to adjust my charge controller to the specs that Crown Battery recommends for their 6V GC-2 batteries, so I upped the OVD (over voltage disconnect) from 13.8 to 14.5
I put a load on for a few hours using Fans, TV Stereo , 1000W inverter Charging laptops, radios, while I had the Array disconnected by opening my 40A Marine Breaker, then reconnected after 4 hours. Saw 20.5 Amp coming in @ 14.5 Volts. Came back later in the day and batts were floating at 13.8, So it works !!
