Thank you to everyone here, this forum has it all!
I am building a solar system for my race bike trailer. Load consists of 4 LED lights, a 12v fan, and a 3,000w inverter that powers mostly a few battery chargers (phone, suit, lap timers, and occasionally a cordless drill charger, pretty light load all around. If needed I can hook up to my genset for something larger.
Right now I have 2 x 90amp hour flooded batteries and am thinking of using 320 watt Canadian Solar panel. Specifications are attached.
My two questions are:
1) I want to be able to theoretically charge my two batteries in one solar day so will one panel be sufficient, or do I need two?
and
2) I am totally confused as to which controller I need to use.
I dont want to cheep out on junky stuff but I dont need to be living in my trailer for the rest of my life either.
Thanking you in advance for your advice!
