As of 1st November there are now two 100W solar panels installed.

I was going to use a second hand 230W panel but they were too cheap and ended up being garbage, instead i ordered another new 100W panel and paralleled them up facing SE/SW to try grab more overall daylight.

Full sun on 1st Nov was giving 158W on the charge controller, I’ve yet to see what the cloudy day output is, hopefully more than 10W! one panel gave about 6W.

Hopefully this will keep it running over winter!

A photo of the new setup will appear here soon.
