@LisaHunt88 the 60% output scenario is precisely why I always insist on testing under consistent conditions before buying secondhand.
Right, so this caught my eye because I've been down a similar rabbit hole with monitoring across differently-oriented surfaces.
On my motorhome I've got panels on the roof that catch morning sun...
@Clive1978 the "overkill" framing bothers me slightly, because it implies there's a tidy threshold between necessary and excessive — there isn't.

So after about eight months of testing, I can finally report back on something I've been quietly obsessing over: running a portable EVSE (specifically a 3.6kW unit capped at 16A) off my Victron...
So here's a frustrating one. I've had a Fogstar Drift 200Ah sitting in the motorhome for about eight months now, generally brilliant, no complaints — until I started using a Type 2 portable EVSE...
That scaffolding becomes part of the landscape, doesn't it? I've got similar lingering around my motorhome setup.
The caravan angle is brilliant — you'll find loads of us here running similar setups. I've gone the motorhome route myself, so if you've got questions about battery sizing, charging whilst mobile,...
Spot on, @BlownFuse — you'll find this place is genuinely useful. I stumbled here about two years ago when I was planning the solar setup for my motorhome, and honestly it's been a game-changer...
