-Working backwards, fully charging lead-chemistries by 1:1 solar means requires about 8.45hrs of Full Sun Equivalent on MPPT, and about 9.7hrs FSE with PWM. **There is nowhere in the United States that averages 8.45hrs of FSE year around**.  The highest is Honolulu with an average of 5.96hrs. The highest monthly average is Las Vegas in June (7.69hrs).
