Hi All -
My new Reflection TT has a 370W solar system. That said, will two 100Ah batteries suffice for dry camping? I arrived at two 100Ah batteries using the following formula: (8 hours of sunshine X 370 Watts) / 13 Volts (LiFePO4 Battery) = 228Ah.
228Ah from the 370W in a day is ideal. In the real world, I suspect the the amount will be <228Ah. As you may know, 8 hours of sunshine may not be possible every day and there are probably losses in the solar system (panel, charger, wiring, etc.). BTW, my solar charger is 60A.
Your insight is appreciated -
