Hi Everyone
I am trying to help a friend design a solar battery charging Station, for a RC Electric Flying Club, the flying field does not have any power going to it, and a 12v solar system is needed to plug in the lipo chargers to, here is what I have come up with. there are not a lot of people at this flying field 
1. 80 Watt Solar Panel for a 12v system
2. 10 amp 12v solar panel Regulator
3. (4) group 27 Deep Cycle Marine Batteries, i think they are 80 to 90 AH each, the 6v ,GC-2 golf cart Batteries would be better, but they are much more money.
They were thinking of using the Harbor frieght 45 watt 12 volt, 3 panel solar system, that cost about $199.00, i found a 80 Watt solar panel on EBay for a 12 volt system for $170.00 almost twice the Wattage and a 12 volt 10 amp solar regulator for $22.00, the (4) group 27 Marine Deep Cycle Batteries from Pep Boys are about $75.00 each, i think they are about 80 to 90 Ah. do you think this will work OK, Thank you in Advance, Chellie
PS. the average lipo battery that will be charged is a 2250mah, 3 cell lipo 20C, 11.1 volts
