I am planning out a system for my house. I first want to do my 10x12 shack/shop to gain experience.
My shack uses 3kw at most. The biggest single draw are my table and circular saws. The shack has 3600 240v running to it currently.
To run my radios, I have a renogy 200 watt kit with 2 100 watt panels and charge controller, which is paired to 200 ah of lifepo batteries.
The 12v system is fine for my radios, i want to power the rest.
What panels should i use? Are there panels that produce more than 18-21 watts per square foot. I plan on putting the panels up on the 6x12 portion of the roof that faces south.
I am planning to build a shop on my 8k sf city plot, but that will take time and money.
