Yeah I was going to say "12 solar panels?" How big is your inverter and battery bank? How many watts are each panel? Do you plan on powering your Air Cond. for a few hours each day?

As a genral rule they say 100 watts of solar per 100 amh of batteries. So many RV'er have TWO 100 panels to charge TWO 12 volt (or TWO 6 volt) batteries.

You many already know this but I just thought I would point this out.

So if your putting up like 1200 watts of solar you to make it worth it (use up all your solar input juice) you need like 1200 amp hours of storage...... using the 50 % rule for LA batteries that like 2400 amh total which could be as many as 24 lead acid (@ 100 amh each) of batteries (or like 12 Litium 100 amh batteries).

Tell us more about your system.
