How big is your battery bank?
picmacmillan:
what i did was figure out how much electricity i used in a 2 week period, and i doubled it for storage..i figure we have typically 3 days of sun, and 3 days of rain.....just hypothetically...i also had 80% of power coming from wind turbine(s), and 20% from solar....and no matter what i dont let the batteries go below 60% charged...the trick is to not hurt youre batteries.i had read lots prior to deciding also..there is alot to it, and many myths also....i have a battery file somewhere on here if you can find it..makes for a good read, and worth keeping...take care..pickster
