Re: Charging 200 Amp-hr battery with solar panel

the max load is relevant to an inverter and wire sizing, not to the solar.

you need to figure out your watt-hours per day energy consumption.  this way, you can figure what you must produce.

watt hours of load / sun hours = rough estimate of solar in W
