Q&A: How Much Solar?
- Solar charges your batteries
- Size your batteries to your needs
- Solar wattage should equal battery amp hour capacity
- 100 watts of solar for 100ah of AGM battery.
- Lithium can use about twice as much solar per ah.

- Fix: use sew on, no adhesive velcro
- Staple it on or...
- Use Shoe Goo, which doesn't melt
