We're retired and on a tight budget, so this month and next, we get two more 100 watt panels, or another itty bitty 50 ah battery (as much as I'd like to get a 100 ah, no mix and match). Where we're at, we're getting about 4 amps steadily between 10 am and 2 pm over the day, enough to charge up a portable power station, and keep the fridge running for the day. At 4pm, the fridge goes on the power station and we let the LifePo4 charge up for the night. Otherwise we wake up to horror (thank goodness for the Renogy rover's jump start trick!) Should we get the second 50 ah battery or the 200 watts of panel first? Will 400 watts (more like 8 amps) overwhelm the one 50 ah battery?
Thank you for all your help!
