This past weekend we switch over completely to solar at the cabin until (hopefully) the dark season. During the day the panels run the electricity and charge the battery, and after the sun goes down, it switches over to battery. Amazingly even after the sun has set the panels are still contributing. The other day is was getting quite dark and the volts were still trickling in, I mean not much at that point but I was surprised.
When I took this photo the panels were still producing 170 volts into the inverter. At that point both the panels and battery were supplying the power to the cabin.
Now that we aren't running the generator we've left the heat on all the time, which means we can make quick trips out after supper to do an hour or two of work (currently that's painting trim). Its nice walking into a warm, quiet cabin.
