Default Re: Additional Source of Power

I have seen estimates of A/C decreasing mpg by ~ 20%. If you use 10 kW as an average power use, the AC requires around 2 kW.

So a 75 watt solar panel (assuming that is the net power that goes to our storage battery ??) will provide 1 minute of AC for every 26 minutes in the sun. This is probably a best case example ..
