![]() Yes Lithium is better… maybe far better… but they are better in the way that a BMW is better than a Volkswagen…What is it that you actually “need”? the Beamer will last longer and work better, but the VW will still get where you need to go. Again, with the budget in mind, we suggest Two of the Mighty Max 100 amp hour AGM Batteries. ![]() Your Charge Controller will feed / charge the Battery Bank. In truth, you’ll likely never get the full 380 watts out of the Solar Panels Anyway. This one is actually rated at 40 amps max, but we’re putting the 30 amp breaker in there to make sure we never actually hit that. The one good thing about PWM is that they have a little more headroom on the input. Note: If you’re thinking back to our Tutorials you know that 30 amps is a bit shy of what you need for 380 watts (Good Catch!!). PWM is the “older” technology and slightly less efficient than MPPT, but this very Charge Controller was the gold standard in the Nomad world up until about 7 years ago when MPPT became readily available (and relatively affordable). We’re going to run that into a Renogy Wanderer 30 amp PWM Charge Controller*. (As long as you’re under 4 Panels you won’t need the Combiner Box). This is not only to protect the CC from damage, but will also act as a cutoff switch if you ever need to work on or replace the Charge Controller, Batteries, etc. ![]() ![]() The price recently went down on these, making them the best deal on the market right now.īetween the Panels and Charge Controller you will have a 30 amp Breaker*. You’re looking at Two of the Eco-Worthy 195w Monocrystalline Solar Panels (380 watts total). These are really the most important factors in a system as far as how much you get out of it. Fpor around $1500 you can start off with just shy of 400 watts of Solar Panels and 200 amp hours of Battery. ![]()
