it is not in full sun.
i have 2 trogen t-105's that are in series.
i charge them with a new sears 10/2 amp trickel charger.
soon we will be adding 12 volts lights.( 5 or six of 12 volt few amps each).
i have a generator that i use to run the microwave, hot plate, coffie maker and a/c when needed.

Hey Anthony:

I got a panel for my RV from these guys:

http://www.rvsolarelectric.com/

They're in Scottsdale, AZ, and the system I got was about $500. It included a huge panel, all the wiring, and a charger/converter that keeps your batteries at optimum charge. I haven't had a dead battery since, even when running a 750-watt power inverter. This panel is so sensitive, the charge light comes on when lightning flashes...

Anyway, hope this helps. These guys are super cool, and very techically proficient.
