Listen to this guy, made a solar powered trailer/workshop and battery storage is the biggest limitation. If you get 3 days of bad weather the battery drains and you go offline. Or you spend tons of money over sizing the system and the batteries are wasted 95% time. Its a game of numbers and use cases.

What kind of workshop are you running? I’ve been intrigued by direct solar applications since learning about this place on this low tech mag article.

Its essentially my garage and workbench with tools. My home doesnt have a garage so I made one. I built a modest bench into the nose of the trailer and put the inverter, battery and equipment under it. There is a cell hotspot and raspberry pi that controls the vent fans, exterior lights, etc so its a fully self contained, mobile workshop I can take wherever. I usually park it way out back on my property.
