Idea for using Solar Power......
Ok im not no electrician so I need everyone's input here.
This is my simple idea, on my 93 Civic the alternator belt is seperate this makes it easy to remove for improved gas mileage (it's still on). Anyways couldn't you just get a few solar panals add 2 extra batteries and let the solar panals keep the batteries charged. So I could drive without the alternator all day long?
How much power would the panals have to produce to do that. My commute to work is just 15 miles and then the car would sit in the sun for 9 hours then drive 15 miles home. It would just be Solar panal -> power inverter -> batteries correct?
I don't even know how much extra MPG i can get with taking off the battery but I think I am in the right direction. And how big of a panal would you need to keep 1 battery running off of the sun without draining it?
The only thing that sucks right now is my wife uses the car as a Daily Driver, but this is just an idea.
Lets here your input.
