wait till you see the gallium panels currently being tested before the release. truly amazing. about 4 times the output per square meter even in dim light.

it was on this site:

previously it was called gizmag.com, i cant remember which version the panels were shown on, looked damned impressive though
Righto
It normally pays not to add up the cost of these 'little projects'......;)
MTM AC11 Ammo box was $30
2 x 12v 22ah AGM deepcycle SLA batteries were $177 the pair
2 x 30W solar panels plus 10amp PWM solar controller were $150 for the lot
Fascia panel including volt meter, cig light socket and dual usb socket was $24.50 (i used 2 of these)
Add another $150 for smaller things like 3 inline blade fuse holders, switches, terminals, electrical cable, 2 x Merit sockets and plugs, 10 meters of decent dual core solar cable and connectors, and a cheap 240V 2amp smart charger, so i can plug that in and charge up at home without fuss if need be.
I could have done some things a little cheaper, ie could have got a cheap 240V extension cord from M10 and cut the ends off that and used in place of the more expensive solar cable from Panels to Battery box. But i wanted it all to be right.
Thanks
Is a cool little setup which I'm going to poach
Going to get the mrs to sew up a carry/protective bag for the panels and line it with dense foam matting.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7e7ef693b9.jpg

looks great.
came across these guys reading up on the gallium panels. having a durable roll up panel option would be excellent for this type of set up

yeah, large scale for now but moving in the right direction
