This solar panel system is installed on an isolated island located in northern, Ontario. This is a relatively small cottage with limited energy requirements. Keeping ice longer than a few days has always been difficult at this cottage. Running a generator is loud and inconsiderate to their neighbors. This solar panel system allows the owners to come to their island with less supplies and have the piece of mind knowing they can now stay for extended periods with the new addition of a NEW mini fridge. The frequency of use at this cottage is light. Overnight stays are limited to 4 or 5 nights. The batteries are given enough time to reach 100% prior to the next visit.
The owners will eventually add 2 more panels and upgrade their battery bank for more electricity and added amenities to their cottage
The owners have learned their systems limitations and conserve electricity whenever possible. Adding 2 more solar panels will make a significant difference to this systems ability to keep the batteries charged during visits to the cottage.
