Solar panel questions

[marcus mcgee]

To answer most of the question so far:

1) Panel dimensions - 14.5"x15.5" and .75 deep
2) Panels can be hooked up in parallel.
3) I have two types of regulators, 2 Amp and 10 Amp. That means you can
hook up to 5 panels to 2 Amp unit
or a pot load to the 10 Amp unit. $15 for the 2 Amp, $30 for the 10
Amp. These have short leads on them, about 2 to 3 inches long.
4) Units must be in full sun for full 1/3 amp out put
5) They can be mounted flat on the roof. They work best if mounted at
a 45 degree angle and pointed
south, but can be mounted flat on the roof and will work well that way.
Remember they will not work well if shaded or even partially shaded.
This is
true of all solar panels.

Any one that wants some send me an email direct and use the subject line
as:

Solar Panel Order for Marcus

Thanks

Is there any magic in how to hook these panels up. Mounting brakets etc.
Once installed on the GMC where do the wires go? and how long does it take
to charge a battery. Say for watching a TV and a movie on the VCR. There
is no TV in the mountains. Is it possible to do other things with these
solar panels. Like have a couple more to run the micro wave etc instead of
the generator at 8 or 9 oclock at night. Chuck

Chuck;

They can do anything you want them to within the range of power that they put
out. But they only provide power when the sun is shining, hence the name
"solar". They can not do a damn thing at night, unless you live in the Arctic
in July. As far as installing them, that is up to you.
