I bought a Bluetti EB240 and it's the biggest thing I've bought - Merry Christmas to me!
Now I have to figure out get some solar panels for the thing...
Should I get 3 x 100 watt panels? Should I get a larger panel - which is why I would want to share shipping costs with someone else?.
I'm not putting things on my roof at the moment, so that is a consideration. If I get a larger panel (or 3 or 4), I'm thinking of putting them on this bedframe that has those little wheels on the bottom so I can move it in and out of the garage. The 100 watt panels I can lift easily, and I could probably manage a 200 watt panel, but bigger ones I don't want to be lifting around on a regular basis. I have a nice sunny south facing driveway. I want something semi-portable so I can retreat with it to the garage when weather gets too windy.
Someone(s) help me think this through.
I'm pretty much learning still. Last year I bought a RockPals 350 and a RockPals 300 with a couple 100 watt panels. I want to step it up every year, so next year I want to get a 5kw battery with the all-in-one MPP or Growatt charge controller/inverters. I'm also interested in heating water directly from panels which is why I would get a few larger panels. I spend watch alot of videos. I'm not interested in building my own batteries, but I watch videos to understand.
After this post, I will retreat to the forum for people still learning. I just started, so I hope nobody else asked this question.
Thanks!
