RE: Steem Solar Savvy #1 : Solar panel make-up
That was a very good observation 😊👍
I wonder why you consider 200W panels when there are panels with 500-600W?
Oh yeah, there are a lot of bigger panels in terms of wattage. 2 months ago, I had 580W and 615W, but I had already sold them.
So for this month, what I have is 200W to 450W. I would still buy them in the future. Panels need huge capital.
Currently, it's winter, and there were concerns that due to the war, there would be little electricity — but so far, it's not the case.
In winter, we have very little sun due to the low angle and cloudy weather, so the efficiency of the panels drops by 5-10 times. So, when buying, you need to take this into account.
But then, in summer, there will be a lot of sun, about 10 times more than needed
Then going for a bigger panel would be the right choice.
First, let me know, what's the estimated wattage you want to power ( gadgets/device) with your solar system...?
