Solar panels - how much power?
(Preview)
Hi. Probably a question for the techies: If you are off grid and have 2 x 80 watt solar panels, how long would they run an a/c for? I guess there are lots of variables but you know what I mean. (I don't have a van yet and would be pretty frugal if I did use an a/c) Cheers
