Need help sizing a portable solar system

Tkreger · 07-17-16, 07:24 AM

I live in Miami, Florida and want to build a portable solar system that will fit into a large storage bin with wheels, like the "Husky 37 inch Mobile Job box."

For batteries I am considering either two Trojan T105 AGM that are 6 volt, 217 amp-hour capacity wired for a 12 Volt system, or two Trojan 31AGM that are 12 volt, 100 amp-hour, wired for a 12 volt, 200 amp system. And I was thinking of purchasing one Eco-Worthy 200W 12V foldable Poly solar suitcase.

Questions: Wanting only one portable panel, is this solar panel a good power match choice? What is the better battery choice? And finally, what size inverter is a good match for this set up?

Thank you!
