Hi I am new to Solar, but I am planning to build a portable sack truck power station like in one of Will's older videos.
Currently my design is to have 2 x 12 V 100Ah lithium batteries in parallel. A 40 amp charge controller and now i’m thinking about what solar panels to get? I live in the UK and there is a slight lack of sun in this country at any time of the year! We are also going into the winter now which obviously reduces the amount of sun we get.
What is the best option to utilise as much of the daily sun as possible? I watched a video with Will talking about over panelling. So would it be better if I got two 200W or even 300W panels and put them in series instead of 2 x 100W in series?
Thanks
