    Question Need advice from someone with knowledge on either 30A or 15A power systems

    If you're looking to sustain yourself off grid for a time you'd need something substantial. Even Lightship with it's massive solar admits that it's time off grid when running the a/c is reduced considerably.

    With some experience with Solar I’ve found that having too much of any component can lead to dissatisfaction with Solar products. Also, understanding the installation and installer intent is equally important. Having a bunch of panels that max out the inverter can be efficient or annoying. My...

    Solar, is it worthwhile?

    I watch this guy often. I don't agree with everything he published, but then, I guess that is across the board. Anyhow thought those contemplating solar might like it.

    New Dutchman Kodiak 201QB

    I checked the electrical circuit on the 10AMP solar. We have a pair of solar panels that put out a max of 9.7 amps so that meets the stated spec on the trailer.
