[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 511277, member: 3775"] Many folks misjudge the power requirements Although they work out how much power they need Correctly they either use the panels full rating or use the 80% Rule But that only applies to spring and summer times, which leaves a lot to chance once winter sets in, So I decided to use the Winter rating to match my usage so no matter what happens any other time of the year I will always have power to spare. I Bought a Victron 100/20 MTTP charge controller so it will hand up to 100v So 4 X 140w will give me 560w at about 28Ah in Winter and each panel can put out up to 98Amps per day in summer so that has the ability to put out 392Amps on a good day less 20% etc. J.
