to energy independence.

I ordered four Evergreen ES-A-Series 195 Watt A Modules that arrived last week. I was out of town and went to the freight company and picked them up earlier today.

Here they are still on the truck.

The first one off the truck and out in the sun. They measure 67.5" tall by 39" wide.

Connected to a multimeter.

And generating over 21 volts although they're considered to be a twelve volt panel, it's not positioned properly, and it's about 3:15pm.

The four will give me 780 watts into a 24 volt battery bank which should be sufficient to power my tent.

The next steps are to secure a charge controller, pure sine wave inverter, batteries, wiring, and other needful accessories. I'll keep everyone posted on my progress as I get this system setup.
