Alternator With A Solar Panel

We add an extra step an.

Alternator with a solar panel.

We show you how to install a basic 200 watt solar system. Select an appropriate cyrix based on your house battery type and alternator current rating. Car alternators and pv panels do not have similar characteristics. It depends on the charge controller and alternator.

So if i didn t want any solar panels on the roof would i be able to consume about 50 amp hours per day from 300 amps of lithium batteries by just charging off a dedicated and separate alternator in a ford transit if i drive an average of 2 hours per day. See how the combination of thermo king s thermolite solar panels and alternator power can be paired to maximize battery performance and reduce costly downtime. If so would i gladly spring for the extra 150 or 250 amp alternator. Additionally when a charge is applied to a house battery bank the cyrix will close and allow current to flow to the starter battery.

Now i have an idea if i remove the alternator and replace it with solar panels would i get more gas mileage or gain. As the name says it a solar charge controller is intended to be connected to a solar panel. Just wondering if the alternator is somewhat reducing gas mileage or if it does reducing the full capacity of the engine coz the alternator is using mechanical energy from the engine to convert it to electrical energy the alternator uses the rotating energy from the engine.
