Really like your cold from and your innovations look like they are well thought out...I know it a bit of a work in progress but a little distraction form the trees can be a good thing...Love all the content, tree related or not, one of my favorite channels...Thanks for sharing...Sequim, WA...
Hi Dave! The formula is I x E = P . I (current in Amperes) multiplied by E (Voltage) equals P (power in Watts). Doubling the voltage OR current doubles the power in Watts. Doubling the voltage AND the current quadruples the power in Watts. Always make sure that your wiring and connections have enough current carrying capacity to prevent over heating. Hope this helps.

I was checking and there are solar panels that work in shade: "Solar panels with microinverters". I also found info for the ones that work in cloudy weather: "Monocrystalline solar panels are generally the best type of solar panel for cloudy days because they're more efficient at converting sunlight into electricity". Just some info to help you out.
I'm not sure about the battery used in this system. But the closer you are to the charging Voltage of your battery the better your efficiency. If you really want to make sure you have to grab the voltage of the solar panel under load and use an amp meter (clamp meter). And also a datasheet of the battery system. Maybe the Powersystem can already show these values in the menu? Changing a voltage to be suitable for the battery always comes with a loss. You just want to keep the loss the lowest. If you have a lot of bad weather putting them in series probably gives the most efficiency (voltage) to charge the battery.
You can always count on Toby for a helping hand!
Dave. You are an electrician. Great the way you did all of this. Great info in this video.
Another really interesting episode - I like this stuff :)
Wow you are getting quite the education with all this! It is all very interesting. I’m sure all of this trial and error will pay off soon!

@@graciebonsai7272 thanks Jim!!!!
Brrrrrrr. Cold out your way. We had a 2F windchill today.

@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 spendy though!

More power..😂😂
I thought there were solar panels that work in cloudy weather? I know that some solar fans work in cloudy weather. Just wondering.
@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 there are solar panels that work on both sides and get reflection light to gain power.
