Why build an onboard solar powered charging system when you can just buy more batteries for your electric lawn care business?
I wanted to know the answer myself, so I built an all-electric lawn care business and solar powered trailer to keep my equipment charged up all day. In this video I show the overview of the system and explore some of the benefits of this type of setup vs just buying more batteries for my equipment, including costs.

I used [ Ссылка ] Enter your location, then your system DC kW size (I used 1.2kw for my system) and make sure to set your tilt angle to 0° if you will be mounting them on the trailer, azimuth doesn't matter since they are laying flat. I then took the monthly potential output and calculated what I **should** get each day in each month. Not a perfect representation but gives you an idea.
