I tested a 100 watt solar panel over the course of a week (well...10 days, actually) to find out how much energy 100W solar panels can produce.

MY SETUP

I used a 100W 12V Renogy Monocrystalline Solar Panel and a Victron MPPT Charge Controller. I monitored the battery’s state of charge with a Victron BMV-712 Battery Monitor to ensure the battery never reached full charge. When it got close to full, I’d turn on some loads to discharge it. I’m happy to say the charge controller was in the Bulk charge stage for 100% of the test! I ‘mounted’ the solar panel at the optimal tilt and azimuth angles for my location (Georgia) and time of year (April). Temperatures ranged from the 40s to the 80s. I cleaned the panel twice during the test, and trimmed the grass in front of the panel to prevent shading.
