1. Renogy 200 Watt 12 Volt Monocrystalline Solar Starter Kit with Wanderer
- 【Efficient Performance】The 200W Solar Panel Starter Kit will produce an average of 1000Wh of electricity per day (Based on 5 hours of direct sunlight condition). The Cell Efficiency can reach 22%. The bypass diodes can ensure the panel has an excellent performance in a low-light environment and the TPT back sheet dissipates excess heat to ensure smooth output performance.
- 【Solid Quality】Advanced encapsulation material with multi-layered sheet laminations protects cells from physical damage and distortion, improving cell performance and providing a long service life.
- 【Smart Function】The Wanderer PWM Charge Controller is compatible with four different types of batteries: Sealed, Gel, Flooded, and Lithium batteries. It also features advanced 4-stage charging (bulk, boost, float, and equalization) to ensure your battery is efficiently and safely charged to 100%.
- 【Full System Protection】The Wanderer PWM Charge Controller has a number of built-in protections to safeguard your systems, such as reverse polarity protection, battery overcharging protection, overload protection, and short circuit protection.
- 【Ready to Install】This Renogy 200W Solar Panel Kit includes all of the equipment necessary for building a new system. The included cables, Z-brackets, and pre-drilled holes on the back frame of the panel allow fast and secure mounting. With the Wanderer Li 30A PWM Charge Controller, the kit can meet your further power needs by adding more of the same solar panels to expand up to 400W.

> Congrats on a well-executed model!
Thanks. :)
> Based on the size of the roof area for the solar panels, I'm assuming you've picked out the panels already. Have a link? I'm curious in learning more about what you've selected.
Definitely monocrystalline panels. As an example, Renogy makes a nice little 200W starter kit with charge controller and such. May or may not wind up going with that exact unit, but it'll be something similar.
As for the size, I just hacked together a couple of 24" by 48" scale blocks, since that ought to cover a majority of pairs of panels i might settle on.
The basic calculations here are based on several trips to the field with my current rig running on a 101Ah battery.
The system is almost certainly overkill, but I like it that way. :)
> Also, how do you plan on sealing out moisture at the roof seam?
A little flap of shingles, basically...sort of how Harry Page did his as linked in the OP.
Here is the full album including the narrowband channels
Equipment:
Nikon D7100 w/ 70-300 VR (@300mm & f/5.6)
External Intervalometer
Manfrotto 190XB with an off brand ball head
Solar Filter (made from two sheets of mylar emergency blanket (as such) and the lid from a peanut butter jar, which was painted matte black using leftover chalkboard paint (left because of this wonderful project)
Acquisition:
I captured images at 1/80th of a second approximately every ten minutes (more in some places) starting at 1:17PM (EST) and ending at 2:35PM. I took lots of images (5+) at a time and picked the "best" ones that were suffering from the least atmospheric distortion.
Processing:
I processed (using a preset on the first image and applying it to the rest) in Lightroom. I had some difficulty with the last three images in the series, as they were significantly darker, so I had to lighten them in post to compensate. I have no idea what made them darker. Processing was pretty simple, with some changes to darkness (to get rid of the haze from the filter), saturation, white balance, and highlights, as well as my typical sharpening routine. Cropped images were then exported and composited in GIMP. Getting these lined up (both on the composite, and in orientation) was by far the most difficult part of this, as I didn't bother keeping the orientation of my camera stable while I was imaging, so it had to be done manually after the fact.
Overall, I'd say I'm rather pleased with how this came out, the weather was really nice, and the homebrew filter worked better than it had any right too (although I wouldn't recommend it over spending a couple bucks on some solar film). I think in the future (probably specifically 2024) I would be a bit more careful with timing and orientation to give a slightly more consistent result.
