> 420 amp hours, although batteries are long in the tooth so lets call it 320 ah. 350 watts of solar, virtually unshaded. I use 75-100 ah per day. How much is largely a function of how hot the water I'm in is and how hard the fridge has to work due to heat infiltration through the hull. I get to float by around 1pm on an average day. -- Suijin((http:// | > 420 amp hours, although batteries are long in the tooth so lets call it 320 ah. 350 watts of solar, virtually unshaded.

+ | > In summer with 2x150 watt flexible panels I was getting 16amps, and it even went up to 22 amps for a while which everyone I spoke to was surprised at such high numbers. Now, in sunny days I'm getting 2 amps for about 2-3 hours a day. Whereas summer was 7 hours of peak sun and a few more of non peak. My panels are flat. Flexible. No air gap underneath. - crap_allnamesrtaken((https:// | ||
