[QUOTE="condor22, post: 651195, member: 1932"] Went to Snowies today, got 2 x 150W panels. Chose them as it was $260 cheaper than 2 x 200W, smaller footprint and less weight, therefore easier to travel with. 150W Hardkorr heavy duty solar mats. If I parallel them with the roof that will give me 460W total. I kind of figured that on crappy rainy days like today was here, no amount of solar was gonna be enough :) (Within in the limits of portability). My main reason for using Amps and Amp hours, is because the BMS in the van gives the battery voltage and the load/charge value in amps. To convert that to watts requires some brain work and hey, I'm a lazy bugger, so why bother lol. Hopefully when I've made up the Anderson splitter and the rain stops, I can get an idea of power harvest. [/QUOTE]
