I bet 36 is what they use for 24 or double for 48..I need to order another system and was hoping to use these panels, given they were free,..I planned on two 300 watt plus panels..the one I liked was 36 volt.. I did want 2 ...anyways whatever it is 12, 24 or 48 I am only interested in the 240 volt at the power point..I hope that 500 amp hour of battery will do at 12 vlt but probably will go for double so there's $1500 gone, a inverter / charger ($1000) ... and to think 12 months ago I did it all on 120 amp hour battery and 120 watt panel..these folk who think off grid and solar energy will save the world should try providing their own power...and I still need to run a genny for airconditioning.

Happily the new roll off roof observatory is 4 degrees cooler than the van which needs a car port or similar to reduce its oven status....but it's been hot in the van 110 f the other day...that is deadly..for me...I will ring Rainbow Power in the morning and work out the panel problem...I think the ones I have are 150 watts each.so that is 1200 watts..one point two kilo watts system..that sounds good but I still will need to be careful with power..even with 1000 amps of battery that gives you 250 approx to use..and the desk top will chew thru it... easy to do that one a good stack and process..I think but have yet to record data...but that's a decent guess I reckon.

And the fire pump that the tree took out can't be repaired so another grand for a fire pump...might have to start eating the wildlife...lucky I did not buy the 16 inch and suitable mount.
