Well add about 50 for things like charging losses and clouds.
How much solar panel to keep battery charged.
This panel will generate more power which will make a battery recharge faster.
Mostly solar panels for 12 volt battery charging are monocrystalline panels and thin film panels with efficiencies from 7 15 depend on solar cell silicon such as amorphous silicon around 7 cigs closer to 15 where as monocrystalline panels perform up to 19 efficiencies.
A typical panel can put out 120 watts so it would take about 20 hours of sunlight to charge the battery.
Sizing the panels for your battery.
3 84 kw gridtied battery backup solar system with outback power center and 12x heliene 320 panels wss outback grid tie w battery backup system for 12 heliene 60 cell modules 17 142 92.
Take the output of the solar panel in milliamps and divide it by two.
That s about the size of the battery it can maintain.

50 is 50 of our 100ah battery and 6 is how many amps the 100w solar panel is generating.
That is about 2400 watt hours.
It safeguards the deep cycle batteries from being overcharged during the day.
A 150ma solar panel can maintain a battery up to about 75ah.
In order to charge a 12 volt battery efficiently you ll need a solar panel that produces 12 volts.
If you re concerned about performance and speed invest in a 16 volt solar panel instead.
You can get the amount of energy it will provide the battery by multiplying 10 watts by 6 hours which will give you 60 wh.
So if you have a 100ah rv battery you can charge 50 of it in a little over 8 hours 50ah 6a 8 33.
In this video i show the renogy 100w panel and how to connect it to a camper.
So if you have a solar panel that with a 10 watts power rating and it is exposed to sunlight for at least 6 hours.
