[QUOTE="A-team, post: 591920, member: 18790"] A quick search on Google got this. [url]https://solartown.com/learning/solar-panels/choosing-and-sizing-batteries-charge-controllers-and-inverters-for-your-off-grid-solar-energy-system/[/url] It might help you understand the calculations a little better. Also remember solar panels are rated for optimum conditions, throw in some cloud or extreme temperatures and those figures quickly get thrown out the door. Get the best quality charge controller you can afford, cheap ones do not do well overall. If you are looking at carrying things around, a lighter battery system like Lithium Ion might suit your needs; more power, compact and less weight (18650 batteries). ALWAYS build a system for MORE than you think you will need, otherwise you might get left in the dark! :lol: [/QUOTE]
