I have a 270 watt Panel and a 30 AMP MPPT charge controller I use on my travel trailer that I use to recharge the 200AH of 12V deep cycle FLA batteries. Paid $165 for the panel and another $130 for the charge controller. Works great for me. Last week in Sequoia I was producing 12.4 amps at 14.6 volts (180 watts) at 8:30 in the morning. My batteries were fully recharged around noon after being used most of night for heat. Heater (propane with 12V fan) turned on at 1 AM and ran about 1/2 the time until about 7 AM. Outside temp got into the 30s.
