"Nope. Bear in mind that you are not looking for permanency in your situation. Extension cords and power strips and whatnot are probably the order of the day."
LOL, that's not what I wanted to hear but expected it nonetheless.
Is there a way to test the efficiency of the panels short of just checking voltage? When I checked the other evening the sun had just started going down nowhere near direct sunlight and got 40vdc.
I shouldn't get below 50% of the battery bank correct? To tell if the panels can keep up, should I discharge to 50% and with no load see how long they take to charge back up?
*edit*
Is there a way to draw 12vdc from a 24v bank w/o damaging batteries. For example, we use 24v inverter to power lights/water pump while up and cooking, etc. Then at night use a small amount of 12v to operate a small 12vdc fan and charge phones, etc?
