Little help choosing mppt

You're in London, and you get garbage sun with lots of clouds?

With full sunshine, clear skies, optimal tilt and unshaded panels from sunrise to sunset, you'd get about 2kWh.

I guess that could be it.. there’s trees along the canal which explains why only started producing after 12, but I didn’t remember the clouds..
Are there no clouds outside London? ?

So to be clear (or not clear in this case), cloudy winter days will not even produce enough for our lights..?

Sounds even more like 1kWh is pretty good.

Even AZ gets clouds. This is an EXTREMELY cloudy day for us:

Winter production is commonly 30-40% of spring-summer-fall production. Based on other UK forum members, it can be worse.

Tempted to do with my utility trailer but I assume you can no longer drive that on the road?

This was my version 1

I'm making this into a portable workshop which will have its own inverter batteries and can be plugged into the mainhouse when needed.
I plan on keeping it roadworthy but not for highway speeds

I have a sharing system with my 4 server rack and one golf cart battery

Very cool. This interests me because our local code enforcement is always causing me drama.

I got the idea for this after reading about people buying dilapidated caravans and doing their DIY projects on the roof to get around that very same problem.

Everything I look at I try to think of some McGyverish way to cover it in solar panels

I see on your profile picture that you like to travel by boat. Have you fitted panels on it?

This could make for an interesting thread.
