This is what I have come up with for my boat house which currently has no power.
"My learning system"
6) LG G3 Modules (love the way these look)
1) DPW Top of pole mount for 6 Modules
1) OutBack VFX3648 Pre-wired
Combiner box with breakers (2 15A)
For the batteries I have found Sun Xtender PVX-4050HT
I choose these batteries because they are "maintenance free" out here we have a limited supply of fresh water and thats for drinking.
With this I plan to build around the system. The only thing that must work is the communications unit which doesn't use that much power.
Looking at LEDs now.
Well this idea has been shut down, the wife wants me to prove that solar will work and that I know what I am doing.
My new plan will be to power a small security camera, more for watching wildlife than intruders. My idea is to have it so she will be able to view this and see it is working.
For this the camera, I am familiar with has a draw of 1.3Amps It will be in use 24/7
Math time.
1.3Ax12V=15.6W
15.6Wx24=374.4Wh
This is where I might be confusing myself.
I want 3 days of reserve so 3x2=6
6x374.4Wh=2246.4
So 2246.4/12=187.2AH
So my question 1. Am I understanding this math correctly, it seems simple. 2. would a PVX-2120L battery work. The 24 hour rate is 212.
For the solar panel I would use a 140W I believe would work.
This is a toy system so I would use a pwm controller.
Thanks for any replies in advanced, Keep up the good work.
