Default supercaps

Buy blemished solar panels for about 50 cents a watt and get enough deep cycle batteries to handle the normal loads and use supercapacitors hooked in series to match the voltage of your solar panels. Most good panels are about 300 watts and 34-37 volts. The caps will handle the heavy loads for about 2 minutes and recharge very fast. By adding caps you do not need as much cranking amps in the batteries.
