Hello all,
I have spent a number of hours on the web researching this project and am not sure I have thought everything out. I welcome comments, suggestions, criticisms, etc.
Situation: 4 motorcycles in a storage unit with no access to AC power. MC batteries are 12V, 9AH. Owner has given permission for a solar panel on a pole mount. Length of run from pole to unit will be under 20 feet.
Proposed solution: 30W panel => regulator/switch => 2 marine batts => 150W inverter => 4 battery tenders (drawing 0.4A each at 120Vac).
I live in a stale air area so a windmill is out of the question. That only leaves solar as a solution. My only concern is that the area is sometimes cloudy for days. Will my solution work?
Thank you all.
