You're in CT, how long does it take for your panel array to top these batteries off from near-empty? I would need 8 of these, minimum, to power my house for a single day (40kW/70kW consumption per-day, on a highly efficient house, with almost everything off, no HVAC, only critical appliances and my office)
Wow that's a lot of power! With (2) 290w panels it will charge roughly 20-25% per day for both batteries, so I guess 50% per battery per day. More solar is needed but I use it leisurely. Run it for 36-48 hours, charge for a few days, rinse and repeat.
@@SamsDIY Yes, I thank Eversource for those rates. We're barely using any power here, other than my home office which runs ~300W-800W continuous. The HVAC died, so that saved us about 8kW/day, the rest is just the highly efficient appliances.

WARNING: Solar is addictive.
