Chicken coop in remote area. No electric. But I need electric fence due to predators. Planned Consumption is below, with sources
I won't run fans when I need the water heater. And I won't run water heater when I need fans. But I put it all in anyway.
I planned on getting the following to run this stuff:
1. TWO 165AH 6-VOLT DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES - wired for 12v. (Sam's Club has them for about $100 each)
2. One 160 watt solar panel (12volt)
3, One 30AMP MPPT charge controller
4. A cheap 4 port fuse box wired into the MPPT load terminals. Bulbs, Fence Charger, Water Heater and Fan would be wired into the fuse box.
Does this seem right? I followed instructions commonly found on the web. But after reading this site (especially that Sun King guy), I am thinking that I had better run it by you folks. Scared. Haha.
