    Persheate that Fred. I have redundant inverters although my loads and draws r small and I only utilize 1 at a time.. Both r 2800 w and have 2 8D deca gel hooked to each one. The costs of these items were ZERO coustomers give me their old stuff all the time I've actually got enough to do another set at home and I plan on pulling all my lights and AV off the grid at some point. A little added input all 4 of my 8d Decca jell r almost 10yr old and they all still rest north of 13 volts. I love them, love to look see 13.1 with the controllers floating, gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

    So solar panels and those costs r what I'm interested in. The solar panels and costs was great info. I currently have only 1 panel attatched to each inverter and what they do is very adequate for what they r. However im often parked in a driveway sometimes on inverter and i have a trailer I pull that if I lined the entire roof with panels u wouldn't even really notice them and I probably will. Lot of your stuff is beyond my knowledge thanks for the input.

    I assume the panels u r using would also be the best bang for the buck for me too? I would think I would not need the costly charge controllers u have put in and for a couple grand i could fill my trailer roof and cover a less expensive control?

    I don't make the left coast too often but if God is willing ill be in Sacramento late May. If u were ready and willing to do some chassis stuff at that point bring yourself down to Norms towing and we will strip and redress your baby's underbelly.
