  Q&A: How Much Solar?
  
  • 
    Solar charges your batteries
    
  
  
  • Size your batteries to your needs
  
  
  • Solar wattage should equal battery amp hour capacity
    
    • 100 watts of solar for 100ah of AGM battery.
    
    
    • Lithium can use about twice as much solar per ah.
      
      
      
      
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  


• Tech Talk: Shoe Goo Velcro Fix
  
  • Velcro is great, but the adhesive melts in high temperatures
  
  
  • Fix: use sew on, no adhesive velcro
    
    • Staple it on or...
    
    
    • Use Shoe Goo, which doesn't melt
