  • Solar Panel Kit Question

    I live in north Dakota (brrrr) and have recently purchased a solar kit (coleman 55w). Battery bank consists of two 12 marine deep cycles. The system is set up in a small polebarn and is to be used to plug in tractor and run a small water tank heater. Problem is, power inverter (200w) seems to kick off.. Can I install a larger inverter??? or What do I have to do to carry this power load???

    Sorry, but everything in your system is too small to support the load.

    What's the wattage rating of the tank and block heaters?

      As WWW says the system is not capable of doing what you want as it is grossly undersized.
