acessories for RV's? Does anyone have any information to share?

Like what? You can install PV Sloar on a cardboard box if you'd like.
I have 1780 watts on my bus/home.
Peace along the way

Thats a nice wattage to have, do you recommend any particular type, I
heard of crystalline.....any particular make and model you recommend?
Any guides will be much appreciated.

I have 1200 watts of monocrystal/amorphous hybrids (Sanyo HIT) feeding
a outback mx-60, 4 trojan L16's, and a Xantrex prosine 3kw inverter/
charger. I live full time in my 30' Dutchmen tow behind.

I take it that's 1,200 "peak watts"?
Could you throw in what the actual "average" would be
over, say, a typical week? Including nighttime...
Thanks.
(In other words, do you get an average of, say, 200 watts? That
would, for this example, mean you get the equivalent of four
hours of full output/day. Yes, I know there's nothing at night...)
Thanks again.

I wonder how different the ''peak'' ratings are from the average
ratings. It would seem that the average rating is more important.
Inverters would seem the way to go for night time power requirements.
Are some cells more efficient than others....newbie here....

Don't confuse the units. 200 watts in 5 hours of full sun = 1 kWh of
production.

So... given that your peak production is 1.2 kw, I guess
a back of envelope would be to take that number and
multiply it by 3 for a daily total?
(more in sunny areas, less in norther/rainy...)

Does that not assume only 3hrs of sunlight?
Kartik Vashishta
sspence
yes, which is is inaccurate.

how do you figure? are you trying to figure a daily average from two
data points?
danny burstein

Just ttrying to get a back of envelope rule of pinkie
as to how much power (over a decent time interval)
we'd really so from a solar panel with X peak production.
From your figures (and others I've bumped into) it
seems like taking the peak and multiplying it
by 3 or 4 hours gets you a number close enough
to back of enveloping.
(obviously you'd have to do more work before a final spec...)

That's assuming that in most areas the sunlight hours are 3 or 4. It
is more easy to simply multiply by the number of hours to get a rating
in kwhr. The average should perhaps be taken over at least a couple of
weeks of course winter months are different than summer, etc.

Question: Are some panels more efficient than others? Is there a price
to efficiency ratio - as in ''this is cheap but less efficient....that
costs more but gives higher efficiency'' efficiency being perhaps
measured in candelas of luminous intensity from Sunlight leading to so
many watts of power

Funny, you used to live in a house. System couldn't keep the house
running?

More the point Steve is, Don't you know your daily average to have
answered the question in the first instance, which was "Could you
throw in what the actual "average" would be
over, say, a typical week? Including nighttime... ?"

Thus the organ grinder's monkey speaks for his master. Come on Steve,
do you know how your system actually performs?

Still waiting to get some numbers and also a comparison of some brands
of photovoltaic cells/vendors.

Ok search solar panels, batteries, solar regulators and inverters.
or
Talk to Teksolar who have already done the work and developed a
modular plug and play system that will do what you want.
Their modular system was developed over several years to fulfill their
energy requirements of an outback tour business.
