Looks like a good thread to pose a technical question. I, too, have measured temperatures up to 140* inside my trailer in the summer time. I installed a Maxxair powered vent, that will automatically close in the event of rain. Currently I run it off the winch battery. However, I would like to run it from a solar panel. The vent can draw up to 4.5 amps. I have a left-over battery from another project that is 18amp hours. What size solar panel would I need to run the vent during the day and into the evening (after the sun goes down)?
If the battery goes to zero volts during the night, will I end up killing the battery prematurely? What other potholes do I need to watch out for?
Thanks, in advance!
