Is a Solar Panel and Lithium Battery system worth it? 12 days off grid 400w 200ah Travel trailer

[@adaycj]

Similar experience. 230ah LiPO4, 200 watts solar. A full 3 day weekend, lights, water pump, fridge, coffee, cpap, and some cooking. All kinds of shade and we head for home at 55%. The trick is to avoid electric for heating water, heating the interior, and AC. We use a shockingly small amount of propane for water and interior heat, so really it's just avoiding the AC.

Nice that the system was able to recover... I'm guessing that the inverter was not powering anything most of the time and either off or in eco mode, though. Your loads were all 12V... an advantage when it means the inverter can drop off. The fridge is great... it really just sips energy. Next time you post the charge controller screens, though, put it on "history" instead of "status" so you can read off how many watt-hours the solar actually generated each day. The shunt also has a really useful "Trends" tab... you can program it to show the State Of Charge and zoom it out to several days worth so we can see the graph.

Thank you for the comment, I have another video posting soon with more depth on this topic, I hope this helps paint a little more picture on this.

Good vid bro.... Of course though, if she was a working fridge that was full of food and drinks and being accessed all the time....then it may be a different story.....but your experiment wasn't about that, and I'm sure any location with even half the shading would still keep your system fully topped up even with a fully fucntioning fridge.....cheers from Chiang Mai :)

Is your fridge a 12v compressor type?

Yes it is
