I have two brand new Lifeline GPL-4DL 12v batteries wired in series for 24v. They are 210ah a piece, so 210ah total in series. I'd like to add two more batteries totaling 420ah. We have 320 watts of solar power, with generator/shorepower backup utilizing an Iota DLS-27-40/IQ4. I connect the Iota directly to the batteries via a short run of 4ga wire connected to welding clamps. Just attach and plug in when needed. So, the question is, regardless of winter/summer sun, would 320 watts of solar panels be enough to charge the batteries? We run about 50ah each night for CPAP, and fridge, adding in an iphone plugged in, ipad for awhile, LED lights nominal. When we have the Truma Combi E, furnace/hot water heater running, you can add 3.9-7.8a and 1.1-5.6a. Anyway, our trip to Baja in January I had to run the very loud generator once in awhile. So, without too much over my head details, on any given day, would 320 watts of solar be sufficient? I'm also thinking of adding an ACR unit between the two 4d starter batteries and the Lifelines.
