I bought 2 x 12 volt 200 ah AGM batteries. I only have 300 watts of solar to work with at the moment... bottom line: Do I have enough solar for these batteries?
Thanks

Now with that said it really all depends on what kind of load are you putting on the batteries? You know what are you running off of the batteries?  ? |

Currently, not much at all! The only continuous pull is a dometic cfx fridge. Other than the fridge, I am only looking to occasionally charge my laptop (so about 90watts), iPhone (5 watts), and my camera charger about once a week. I eventually will be installing LED lights and a sink/ but that stuff is in the future and i will hopefully install more solar by then!
Thanks

What kind of voltage {checked with a volt meter} do you have in the morning and what is it about 4 in the afternoon?

I'm not sure because it's not installed yet.

I'm not sure because it's not installed yet. There is no way to answer your question... Let us know when you get it up and running... |

If we use the average of the USA's insolation hours, then your system seems to be adequately sized. Rest assured that these factors quickly change depending on your location, and intended watts usage. If you have not purchased anything yet, we would recommend you make a list of your intended electronics, their watts, and your estimated hourly usage per day. This would be a better indicator of your system adequacy. -Renogy Team |
