Why? Before I added the first two solar panels I could easily go three days in between charging sessions.

I noticed after I added the 200w of solar I was putting back about half my daily draw just with the panels.

I’m adding another 600w of solar and a freezer. It should be total overkill, even when it’s overcast. At 40% depth of discharge I’ll have two full days of discharge capacity at worst case. Why would I need more?
