Irma and solar
As everyone knows Irma hit central Florida Sunday night and like the 6.2 million other people we lost power here. luckily about 10 months ago I installed a solar system to my TT 600 watts of panels 840 ah of battery power and a 3000 watt inverter. When I installed the system I hard wired a 20amp outlet from the inverter to the outside. Since the power went out I have an 20amp extension cord going from the TT into my house. I have the refrigerator and a tv connected to the solar system and on occasion the microwave. I've been keeping an eye on the batteries and just before the sunsets I'm at 12.7v come sunrise I'm at 12.2v. I'm sure I could use a bigger system but I'm happy with the results for now.
