Great seminar in Hershey!

Oh my goodness this video/worksheet is absolutely amazing, you really break everything down. Not only did you explain the calculations you explained the actual item purposes too (perfect for the hard headed ones like myself). I’ve been skeptical about purchasing solar just because I was scared to calculate wattage before hand, you made this process easy, breezy, beautiful. Renogy really needs to add this to their website! Amazing job guys

Thank you for creating this solar system sizing worksheet. I’ve studied the advantages and limitations of lithium iron phosphate batteries, the types and efficiencies of solar panels, and the construction and costs of different inverters and converters almost to the point of mental exhaustion. This is the piece of the mobile solar charging and energy storage system I had procrastinated on doing. Thanks for the assistance in clearing the last hurdle on the path to determining the Goldilocks solution for our camping style.
