Hello Everyone,
I am going to install solar on my RV and find myself chasing my tail (circular logic?) regarding array sizing.
If I size my array to support my needs in November in Seattle, and then travel to Phoenix in August, I will be significantly "over-paneled" and risk charging my battery bank at a much higher than ideal rate.
If I size for Phoenix in August then I will be short of capacity when I go back to Seattle in the Winter.
In a perfect world I would Summer in Seattle and Winter in Phoenix. If anyone finds the way to that perfect world.... Please send me a map.....
What can you all suggest as far as dealing with the variables?
Is designing for Seattle Winter and having a "disconnect" on a portion of the panels to be used in sunnier weather a good option?
What do you all think?
