Hey guys, I've read lots of threads and different forums and I'm trying to scratch a solar itch I've got.
Goal: I want to be able to charge my Leaf while at work with a portable Solar Generator Trailer. I'm only at the office 3-4 hours a day (usually 12-3 or 4pm). I have an old small trailer I could repurpose. It's approx 4'x5'. I also already own a Handy PowerX portable inverter that I know for a fact will charge my Leaf using the stock EVSE.
So, I was thinking of buying one of these 200ah Lithium batteries off Amazon or Ebay and getting another Level 1 EVSE like the Zencar adjustable that goes down to 6 amp and the biggest single solar panel I can fit on the trailer to recharge the battery while I'm not at work. I realize a single panel (even a large one) wouldn't charge the Leaf indefinitely but if the battery would last 3-4 hours, then the solar panel could charge it back up all the time that I'm not at the office.
