I'm considering building a small solar system to meet the power needs of an off-grid mobile workshop (trailer).  Can anyone suggest a good forum (s) to assist with the research and eduaction process? Thanks in adavance.

You might check in with the Ham forum here.  That's a bit more juice than we usually use, but we do a lot of solar power.

And someone in there may have advice on a good solar forum as well.

Thanks. I did an archive search of the outdoor forum and there's a good amount of relevant posts on equipment sources, etc..

We have had so many great solar and battery threads but I think they have fallen to the archives. I had them tagged but my membership has lapsed and im not online anywhere near what I used to be so I haven't renewed yet so.

One of the threads was super detailed and had info for wiring sizing, battery sizing AH usage, all sorts of neat stuff

I recently finished a solar trailer (632W panels + 225 ah 12V batts). I've learned a lot at the Northern Arizona Wind & Sun forum. Their beginner's forum is very helpful and the folks there are generally pretty friendly.
