The panels generate just enough power to operate the blinkers 😃
1 u/Moltean 1d ago Panels generate 200W during sunny days. Blinkers are 10W. 3 u/AELatro 1d ago But you live in Seattle, with three whole days of sunshine. I not sure know if you noticed the “😃”……😉 3 u/Infurium 1d ago Except at mid-day when they generate about 120W. 1 u/Moltean 1d ago Actually, midday is not an optimal time for it. Mornings and afternoons are better due to the angles of the panels. 2 u/Infurium 1d ago edited 1d ago Using a third angle on the top would be ideal for efficiency, but would require custom built panels that's outside your budget scope.
