I want to thank everyone for all your help and support.
I did a lot of reading and came up with this setup but still have much to learn. I had 1-Siemens 90 Watt solar panel installed 5 years ago. Along with a Solar/Controller Monitor. Here is a list of what I upgraded and costs. 1. 4-U2200 Interstate Batts $110. =$440 2. 3-Meters of 4 Gauge Wire $4. =$12 3. 2-Meters of Red/Blk 6 Gauge Wire =$8 4. 9-Cable Ends =$24.60 5. 2-Red/Blk Elect Tape =$7.15 6. 1-Shrink Wrap ½” =$2 7. 2- Packs of Nuts/Washers =$3.15 8. 1-Fuse Holder =$18 9. 1-Fuse 175 A =$5 10. 1-Wood Floor Dolly for Batts =$20 11. 1-Vector Maxx 800 Watt Inverter =$75 (Will Change to True Sine Wave Inverter Later And ADD 1-2 More Solar Panels and hydro caps) TOTAL $614.90 I still don't really know how to figure out all the power I have? Please GIVE any advice on anything I am forgetting or need to change. Thanks, Blu ![]() P.S. Will post Pic later, too large it says. |

Hi Blu,
Not quite sure what you want to know but if you want to calculate how much power your solar panel is putting back into your batteries then you can just multiply the rated current or wattage by the number of hours that it is in the sun. So for example a 90W panel in a typical day of 5 hours of peak sun will produce about 450W. It will replenish your batteries with 450W. Hope this helps. |
