 > 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/)) > 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.

 +> I have three 100w flex panels, MPPT charge controller with MT50 monitor all connected to two 125AH AGM {Vmaxtanks} batteries. Everything but the batteries is from Renogy (amazing customer service). I use this to run my ARB cooler style fridge, lights, fans and to charge my lanterns/laptop/phones/ereaders. Never been below 70% in 3-4 years. -- diverdaddy0((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/ifghts/whats_your_power_setup_like/g2nha15/))
