Great! I'll be looking forward to some data. Would be nice if they did ok, I'd like to have them mounted flat most of the time with a tilt option if needed for more power.

   I've been using one of these for monitoring a Headway lithium battery pack. Out of the box it works very well.

The exact same meter from a different eBay seller whose name begins with "Hurricane" would have been my purchase except that the seller block me from buying.

bart:
   While that looks like a nice meter, it is from Missouri, Wind, and Solar. Famous for the car alternator wind gennies. Drive by there once in a while. And keep driving.

MattM:
I imagine a semi trailer would be more ideal for augmented living on the road.  Probably wouldn't boost fuel mileage with any relevance, but for couples that drive together it would keep them supplied with regular battery power.  Maybe with the right insulation it would sustain a refrigerator truck.
