    Its a 400w array permanently mounted to the roof. Its been continually topping up my lithium batteries since 2018.

    It probably would have hit 1MWh sooner, but the batteries are almost always full so there’s nowhere to store the excess charge.

      I’ve done a similar build out in my Northern Lite camper. 800w on the roof and 400ah of lithium. I want to convert the fridge to an electric compressor fridge and the stove over to induction next. I hate it when the batteries fill back up by 10am and I waste solar meanwhile I am still buying propane for the appliances.

        It’s possible. For the 11 months I’ve been cooking from excess solar power (December is a little short). I still carry propane for heating and a few things that seem to work better over flame.
