Current Equipment
114 Ahr Everstart maxx battery
400w Wagan inverter
20A cheap pwm charge controller (on order)
* EPRC-ST model
I use this equipment in a barn and currently use a generator to charge the battery. Load includes low wattage lighting (12v and 120), phone charging, small battery charging, radio... A full charge typically lasts three to seven days, depending on use. What wattage 12v panel do you guys recommend to cut down on the generator use? I'm was thinking of starting with one 100 or 120w panel but am unsure after reading some posts.
Am I correct in thinking that a ~17.5v higher current panel would be better with the cheap charge contrloller than a simularly priced 18+ volt panel?
Thanks for any sugestions.
