Re: [WISPA] 1st Solar project
Carl, I'll be glad to help, but I need more information. What controller do you have?What amp/hour capacity batteries do you have? The CCA (cranking amps) is not at all relative to the amp/hour capacity. The marine batteries are around 100 to 115 amp/hour at most. It sounds like nowhere near enough panels or batteries.

RE: [WISPA] 1st Solar project
Just a FYI for everyone here, we have a very basic solar setup. 1 x 80 watt panel 4 x 750 amp car batteries in parrell 1 x charging controller 1 x 532 2 x SR2s 1 x 24db grid 1 x 15db omni We hooked a POE directly to the 12volt output of the solar controller, and show .1 to .3 amps draw, its been cloudy for the past 4 days, rain, heavy clouds, no loss of service so far!
