I specifically requested the white one but they sent me the black one. Does anyone know of any major efficiency loss from the colors? I know white reflects heat while black absorbs it and heat has an effect on efficiency. Should I bother with an RMA?
The panel...
Another issue is that the 100W panel will not have access to the sun all the time it is shining (its on a balcony, not a roof) So I will be not getting that 400wh daily allotment.
So would it make sense to get a lower ah battery? 35 ah 12v LFP batteries are very expensive and for the first DIY...
Has anyone done a teardown of what is in this thing? Is there a built in charge controller/inverter? Would making a DIY like this cost the same as much as google is asking ($60)
Hello,
I'd like a battery recommendation for my current simple setup:
Mega 100 Watt Portable Solar Panel from RichSolar
Renology wanderer charge controller
Use: charging a 26k amp hour powerbank over several days
I wont need an inverter because of the charge controller's built in USB ports...
