   Re: opinions on my off-grid system

   Hi, I was wondering if this would be the correct place to ask questions about   
   new off-grid setups. I'm working on a small cabin after losing my house to a   
   fire and I cant get grid-juice. I have 2 100watt panels, a p20l, and a 12v   
   100ah battery, but I    
   cant seem to get the battery above 11.5 during the day and it dies nightly   
   (its 4 days old). Central New Mexico, so lots of sunshine.    
   I am running 1-2 small (8-12w) LED bulbs, a wifi router and occasionally my   
   surface pro 3. Also charge my cell phone. I don't understand the setup   
   completely, and my math is flawed as a rule, but it seems like I should have   
   plenty of power unless I'm    
   using the surface a lot.   
      
   If this is the wrong place, please direct me to an appropriate forum!   
      
   Thanks,   
   -T
