If I bought a 65W panel like this one say, I'd have all the stuff I'd supposedly need. The description says this panel puts out 65W or in 8-hrs of sun it generates 206amps. I'll assume they mean amp hrs. I figure that I use up about 30AH per day. For example purposes, that means my 75AH battery would have about 45AH left after a full day. If this panel generates 200AH+, them my battery would be topped off and I'd "waste" the other 170AH right? In this case, wouldn't a smaller panel be sufficient?

The way I understand it, the solar panel will generate 206 amp hours PER WEEK, not day...
Hope this helps

WHAT?! Who came up with this convention?Brett,

If so, that would be 29AH/day or 3.6AH per hr. So for argument sake, if I used say 15AH per had and this panel generates 29AH/day, the extra 14AH just goes to waste right? And the charge controller sees to it that it doesn't over charge the battery correct?
