After chasing the sun all day, trying series vs parallel configurations, the most wattage I was able to get was around 95 watts. This is approaching rating of the two panels combined, but it only ever lasted for a few minutes. Granted I am surrounded by trees, but this will also be the case at the property. So far it’s not looking feasible.
Also the Bluetti AC300 can’t handle very much amperage via solar.

I’m very interested in reducing our consumption of fossil fuels. I also live in Seattle, so how feasible is solar power? Today about 3kW of power arrived. I’ll begin testing with solar very soon, am curious what I’ll learn.
I thought I had heard a loud crashing sound in the night, but never found any damage - until I found this today. It’s already rusting.
Another thing to deal with :/
