I don't like the hinge, particularly, and the cam-locks will allow the upper cowl to be removed just by lifting it straight up, and to go back on just as easily. We're going to replace the flange-and-channel arrangement on the aft edge of the upper cowling with cam-locks, similar to the hinged-upper-cowl STC, but without the hinge. The cowling patches are done, for now, what is electric cable but I just had to stop-drill a new crack. I have put some very slippery teflon anti chafe tape on the part that slips into that flange part of the cowling. Some folks have tried to argue that all these electronic gadgets will reduce reliability. It will only generate its maximum capacity if perpendicular to the sun’s rays. At the same time, the breaking capacity must also include the maximum possible DC voltage in the system. In contrast, when you add a voltage meter directly to the battery, you always know the state of your battery in the blink of an eye. If your battery meter reads 12V in this situation, you should not discharge it further to prevent premature aging. If you use a 12V solar panel and a 12V battery, you also need a 12V charge controller.

In full sun, the battery voltage will quickly surpass 13V. If you connect a power-hungry device to the solar charge controller at night, the battery voltage may drop below 12V. However, in both cases, the battery storage capacity may be the same, for example, 12.4V. Therefore, to know the battery storage capacity, you should check the voltage at night with the electric load turned off. In principle, the battery voltage should not go below 12V (24V in the case of a 24V battery). Finally, if you want to use power meters in your circuit, dimension them to the voltage and current that flows through your system. Digital voltage meters can be very bright, so if you want to be able to shut it off at night, add an on-off switch. If you turn on an electric load, the voltage decreases and no longer reflects the battery storage capacity. A fuse needs to have a maximum current capacity that slightly exceeds the peak current flow in your system. After selecting the type of system (choose "off-grid") and your latitude, enter the values for installed peak PV power (in Wp), battery capacity (in Wh), discharge cutoff limit (in %), energy consumption (in Wh), the inclination angle of slope (in degrees) and azimuth (in degrees, the position of the PV panel relative to the direction due South).

The cheapest DC-DC converters only take 2A to 5A, while the lowest-cost solar charge controllers take a maximum of 5A. Charge controllers and DC-DC converters get more expensive as their current capacity increases. Fuses should be close to the power source (solar panel or battery), but additional fuses can protect devices from problems with DC-DC converters. If you also want to include a circuit that needs a different voltage (for example, 5V for charging USB devices), you can use a DC-DC converter with a stable input voltage (12V/24V) and a 5V output voltage. However, in other cases, you may want more flexibility. For example, you may want to split the power to run several appliances simultaneously or alternately on the same solar installation. You may also want a switch to turn the system on and off. Harvesting solar energy inside a building may not be the most efficient, but the structure of the solar panel doesn’t need to withstand wind and rain. You can then play with the different variables to get the minimum energy production and storage you need. That's as far as I'm likely to get before Cody. I ordered the PCBs from PCBway who get them back to you in about 1 week!

All current should be differential (all current flowing out of the live wire should go through the load and return back through the neutral). I'm afraid if I start pulling wire through the wings it'll be weeks before the plane is back flying. A solution is to wire all components with a relatively large diameter cable, such as 20AWG (maximum 11A) or 18AWG (max 16A). Choosing a thicker wire allows you to extend your solar installation later without upgrading the cables. The smaller structure holds a large plant container, while the larger support structure doubles as a storage chest full of stuff. For solar panels with a fixed tilt, I use large hinges and supporting beams of wood pieces with metal joints. Of course, you could also design a more sophisticated system that allows you to adjust the tilt of the solar panel without changing the beams. For smaller solar panels, I use hinges to attach support beams of differing sizes, or I use a butterfly screw to loosen and change the tilt.
