What additional items do I need to make my solar deer stand more functional?
I have a 6′x8′ deer stand, well insulated, made of cedar, 12′ high. I already have a BP 120 watt solar panel, small charger, and a 400 watt inverter. Last year I used 3 optma blue top deep cycle/starting batteries in series, giving me 3 12 volt batteries total output of 12 volts. I have a 30 inch flat screen tv/dvd player combo, a small icebox that only draws 1.2 amps, a 750 watt microwave, 2 100 watt light bulbs, and an airconditioner/heater, which draws ac-5.0 amps, and heat 8.0 amps. Tv draws about 100 watts. Last year this system would only run tv & icebox, and run bats. down less than 3 hrs. Panel was on ground running up to charger with small ga. wire, and 20+ ft. Now panel is mounted on top, with largest wire that would fit. What rec. do you have on battery size, inverter size, and charger size? I want to be able to leave all on 24 hrs a day 7d a wk.? no lights tv or ac/heat while not there. Just Icebox while gone. I hunt 3 days at 4 hrs max which would use tv,ac/heat, microwave
I forgot to mention that I must have the power to run my dish network sat., which uses about 10 watts.
You don’t have a deer stand!!!!!!! you have a condo!!! Get real and go out and hunt like everyone else.
