Can Anybody recommend.....

A good off grid charging system for trolling motor batteries, besides gas powered generators
I'm thinking solar power charging system and don't know how well they work and how long it takes to charge a low deep cell battery. If somebody has done this I would be happy to hear from you thank you 😎

A kit like this can charge a 100ah battery in 1-2 days.

It's great to see the price coming down on this technology. With 21 roof panels, my neighbor is selling back power. A friend who works for Florida Light and Power says solid-state aluminum batteries are coming, and FPL is preparing the infrastructure because solar panels on every roof are inevitable.

It needs to be charged in one day to make it worthwhile

After viewing several solar units

I think I'm better off with a small camping gas generator
It would be about the same amount of money if not less
Rain 🌧🌦or shine ✨😎
