I'll let you know in a couple of weeks. I have a 40-amp solar panel on my
boat, and a 130 amp battery. We will shortly be spending five days in the
Apostle Islands on Lake Superior. I'm interested myself to see how well
the solar system works - we've done only daysails since I installed it,
so the panel has had plenty of time to recharge the battery.
