I upgraded the solar system on my VW Vanagon.
I now have 180 watts of panels and an MPPT charge controller giving 95 to 97%
charge efficiency. As opposed to PWM controllers at 50 to 60% efficiency or
analog controllers at even less.
I will have it at breakfast tomorrow if anyone is interested in looking at the
installation.
I also changed out my old inverter for a 90% efficient pure sine wave inverter,
And the bad thing is it makes lots of noise at HF. I've attempted to address
the problem with lots of ferrite and capacitors and have gotten the noise down
by about 1 S unit.
