Not sure how to get this to Will, but: Will! do a tear-down review of the batteries for the Titan Solar Generator. It would be cool to see what's inside. It would be cool to tear down the control module too. Thanks!

2 questions: 1) If you want to get the most power out of solar panels on cloudy days/shading, is it better to have more small panels rather than fewer big panels? For instance (for a 2kw system for an off-grid house): 10 each of 200w panels or 20 each of 100w panels? I'm thinking of the shading...

I was looking at Titan specs and though people are impressed with AC charging capacity, it seems that it takes 2400w of AC (20a/120V) to provide a max charging wattage of 600w to the batteries. That's a 75% loss?? I'm new to this, but that sounds huge. Why so much loss? Am I missing something in...

Does the Titan solar generator make a lot of noise under normal conditions? I saw the thread that identified the AC charging unit as making a lot of noise, but how about the unit connected to solar? Does the fan run a lot while charging? while discharging under load? Would it be loud and...
