hello, im new here.
i am planning to be going full time next spring in a retired 17ft uhaul truck and obviously ill need solar hah.
so far ive worked out the main components ill want.
* 24v MPP Solar inverter / charge controller AIO unit
* 2 Battle Born 12v 1200Wh lithiums in series.
* ebay 200w 12v panels that were linked on wills site. 4 of these panels in series.
my main power draw is my pc setup. under normal operation [no gaming] and using both monitors, all plugged into a kill-a-watt i average about 135 watt hours.
i will also be running a "iceco" fridge that has a danfoss compressor on it. i dont have the fridge yet, so i cant tell how much power that will draw. other than that i wont have any power draws that big. just small stuff. ie led lights.
i would like these batteries to last me as long as possible. especially because theyre the most expensive part of my solar set up.
at the moment, idk if ill be charging the batteries too fast, and then over charging them with 800 watts of panels. though my pc can pull around 375 watt hours when playing video games. but i dont want to have to run games on my pc just because im a full on the battery.
i use my computer for at least 10 hours a day. mostly for work but also a lot of media consumption. ex. youtube, netflix, hulu.
and if im doing that, its at lets say 140 watts per hour for 10 hours thats 1400 watt hours. plus the lights and fridge that i dont yet know will draw.
so should i got with more battery or cut down from 4 panels to 2? or will this setup work for me?
