We inherited a small off-grid solar system. 4 x full-size panels (unsure of wattage), 8 x Trojan T-105 6V batteries (2 strings of 4), 12V bank, small charge controller, Whistler 2000 watt inverter. The batteries are brand new. We also have a 6000W propane generator to charge the batteries and provide cabin power when required.
How long should it take to recharge the bank from the generator, assuming the batteries are at 50% discharge?
Also, how do I know the maximum wattage device I can run from the bank? We tried plugging in a 1300W instant pot but it wouldn't work and the inverter yelled at us with an alarm.
