I am putting together a solar panel setup. I have a 80 watt Bluesky panel and a Morningstar 300 watt inverter. I am ready to buy the charge controller and battery but have a few questions.
For charge controllers I have been considering the Bluesky solar boost sb2000 or Morningstar sunsaver MPPT, anyone have any experience with these controllers?
Now for the battery I am either going to go with a single 12 volt 100 amp hr diehard patinum or a single 12 volt Lifeline 4D AGM 210 amp hour battery. Any other sugesstions as for batteries? I have even considered going with 6 volt batteries as well but they are bulky and heavy.
The aux. battery will be used to power my fridge and the small inverter will mostly be used for a radio and to charge my laptop and camera batteries maybe a low wattage light. I would assume in the hot summer the fridge will run a lot.
What will my amp hour useage be?
Any ideas or suggestion? I have been slowly ordering parts over the last several months and now down to the last bits and I will finally be back home next week so I can get started putting it all together.
