Re: 12V vs 24v
As a rule, 24v is better than 12v for an application like a fair sized pump. Going to 12v would more than double the current going from the bank to the inverter. Higher current increases resistance, …1 · -

Re: Best Inverter/Controller location
If you consistently get 5-6hours of full sun (no wire shadows etc) and the panel is properly angled, it might work out ok then. A second panel still wouldn't be a bad idea.1 · -
Re: Small Shed System for Chickens...Your POV on What's Needed
I think you may be mixing up a bit on the amp-hours numbers. For example, the 1a fan is 1amp AC @120v. That's 10adc@12v + inverter losses, so more like 110-120ah/day. Running the extension cord …1 · -
Re: Small Shed System for Chickens...Your POV on What's Needed
It would help to know more about the nest cam. I assume the 0.2a draw is 120v, so would be 2a@12v, so 48ah/day? Going DC would avoid inverter losses, which can be significant with small loads. An iss…1 ·
