As many of you know I am a fan of solar vehicles..My current project is a
Steintrike Explorer as the donor vehicle. 4,000 watt Cyclone drivetrain. At
least 400 watts of panels. 4 kw(8 Leaf modules) I think the easiest way would
to directly size the panel voltage to the charging rate of the battery. I have
little experience with lithium. Is bms tied to a charger? Is it passive?
Active? Does it also work during discharge? I am thinking I could charge my
battery in 10 hours or less depending on state of charge and have a cruising
speed of maybe 25 mph under good conditions barely using the battery. The
battery would be a buffer for the panels. Some sort of system would be needed
to prevent overcharging. Ideas?...... Lawrence Rhodes wondering if I could tow
a large solar panel as a range extender. Seen it done with small vehicles.
However one to power a Leaf might be a disaster in crosswinds.
