[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 651202, member: 3775"] I got 6 x 150w panels still in their boxes and thought about hinging 2 together to make one portable unit using Stainless Hinges but even 150w panels are not light when paired up so I gave that Idea away, Also this weekend I gave my Brother my 3x 115Ah Deep Cycle Batteries and a brand new Victron 100/20 Smart Solar "Bluetooth model" MPPT controller, Plus all the leads to link the batteries, Now if only I could get rid of these 6 panels, Folding panels are a lot lighter and easier to live with, These Solid panels weigh 12-15kgs each where as folding panels weigh around 3 to 5kgs, Another good thing to come out of this weekend was on Saturday I worked out the Ultimate way to get your panels set right So yesterday I put it to the test and it worked, And even though it was very cloudy I managed to keep my panels charging the SoGen until the Sun went down. 👌 [/QUOTE]
