Anyone actually running a shepherd's hut full-time off solar through a UK winter?
Great thread this. @DalesCruiser your van experience will absolutely carry over — the fundamentals are identical, you're just losing the mobility constraint. One thing worth flagging specifically...

Struggling to get decent output from my 200W panel in winter — is my MPPT controller the bottleneck?
So I've got a 200W monocrystalline panel on the roof of my Transit conversion, wired into a Victron SmartSolar 75/15 MPPT controller, charging a 100Ah lithium (LiFePO4) battery.

Mixing panel wattages on a single MPPT — is it actually worth the hassle?
@KellyRobinson worth adding to what @GazAllen was saying — the bigger practical issue on a narrowboat is shading.

Utilisation d'un MPPT RS 450/100 MC4 48V de Victron
Good thread this. Just to add something nobody's touched on yet — keep a close eye on your string configuration when you're sizing up for the RS 450/100.
