Is the above arrangement workable?
I can get really inexpensive 24v panels, and was going to grab a cheap 12/24v PWM inverter ($15 eBay specials) and hook it up to a single 12v AGM.
It's for a small sailboat that doesn't have any electronics other than a few cabin lights, nav lights, and a depth sounder. It came with a 100wh AGM that was charged only occasionally when docked, but I'd like to have it be topped up automatically. To be honest even a 10w trickle charge panel could do the trick, but wanted to get my hands wet with solar and start learning with a cheap setup. Thanks.
