Re: [A/S] Re: Solar cells



I purchased two more Siemens SR100's the pair cost about  $940.  I also
bought the Solar Boost 50. This charge controller cost just about as much as
one SR100 but has Patent Pending MPPT Maximum Power Point Tracking
technology that allows a charge current increase of up to 30 percent. With
the Solar Boost 50 the four SR100's have the output of a five panels. I try
to park nose east or west. If I know I will stay parked at the same place
for two months or so I will tilt the panels on the north side with brackets.
I made summer brackets that tilt about twenty degrees, winter brackets that
raise the panels to about forty degrees from the horizontal.
