Hey!
My wife and I are building a system for a road trip and we've used all of the solar calculators we could find etc, but we still don't quite understand if we're looking at the right products/loads. We don't want to under-power for our needs, but also don't want to over-power our batteries or something.
We're also not sure if we're going to drain our batteries faster than we can recharge them. Hoping someone here can give us an extra set of eyes before we order everything listed below:
We need to power/charge at Minimum:
1 MaxxAir MaxxFan Plus -- 12v DC, 5a (8hrs?)
1 Macbook Air -- 120v AC, 1a (2hrs?)
1 Camera Battery Charger -- 120v, .25a (2hrs?)
And ideally, we could also have capacity just in case for:
2 Smart Phones
1 iPad
1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
1-2 LED Lights
And here are the products we're looking at:
Renogy 160 Watt 12 Volt Polycrystalline Solar Panel
www.renogy.com/renogy-160-watt-12-volt-polycrystalline-solar-panel/
Renogy Wanderer 10a PWM Charge Controller
www.renogy.com/wanderer-10a-pwm-charge-controller/
2 6v 208ah Batteries (in series for 12v)
www.batteriesplus.com/productdetails/sligc110
And this is the Inverter we already have:
1000W TrippLite PowerVerter
www.tripplite.com/1000w-powerverter-compact-inverter-trucks-4-outlets~PV1000HF/
Appreciate any help.
Thank you!
