 > 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://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f14/solar-watts-daily-ah-consumption-202019.html#post2643157))

 > 250Ah of battery with 360W solar. It really depends how often you run everything.
-I have a 70L DC dual compartment fridge, some LED lighting, a fan, a water pump, and run an induction cooktop off an inverter to cook (10 minutes only a day at low power). -- dsuliuno((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/fjqgb5/tell_me_about_your_solar_setup/fkp4620/))

+> 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://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/7eexfc/solar_how_much_wattage_do_you_run_actual_output/dq5ye14/))

+> I'm running 480W solar with a 24V 250Ah battery. Most things will run practically indefinitely. Fridge, lights, fan, tv, gas heater, phone/laptop all sip a couple percent per day. Depending how sunny it is the panels can charge up to ~80% on a good sunny summer day. What I do need to ration is use of the induction cooktop and microwave. Either of those running is closer to the scale of 1% per couple minutes. So it's a balancing act between how much I cook and how sunny it is. So far I haven't come close to draining the battery, but I've got more battery capacity than most and haven't lived in it for a span longer than 2 weeks at a time. - A4W_Squiggles((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/g35mji/opinions_on_solar_power/fnpg0g3/))
