@sboeckman It all depends on how much you use the night before. It won't charge two fully depleted deep cycles in one day. It was designed for running a water pump in an emergency.....a few short 45 second bursts a day. For that it works perfect. It will also run a couple low consumption fans all night and replenish during the day. It's all a matter of keeping track of watt/hours out and watt hours in.
This solar generator has been designed with great expertise. Looks like people are making a good effort to convert from thermal-powered electricity to alternative sources of power.
I would have killed in 2003 (the blackout) to have this setup....spent all day in the car with the air going (until the gas light came on). The only thing I had was a maglite solitare with a half dead battery and a radio with a dead battery, lol. I have a small solar system, but I kinda like these 45 watt kits I've been seeing lately.
Pretty cool, nice neat setup. You could add add another one of those panels and several more batteries and have a ton of power. Check out my video, I was using 4 of those same panels to charge 8 golf cart batteries.
Well it was designed to run a residential well pump a few times a day during power outages. For that, I could have used one less panel and one less battery, but the inverter needed to be the size that it is. BTW, I looked at your videos. Good Job. Keep it up and you will make a difference.
I'm not sure what you mean. It will not replace your normal household current usage unless you live in one room cabin and use very little electricity. It was designed to run a residential well pump, which uses short, heavy amp loads intermittently during the day (recharging in between). It will run a few fans and TV all night. It all depends on what you take out of it vs. how much sun you have to recharge it. It's all about amp/hrs
How long does it take to charge the batteries? Are the 45 Watt solar panels capable of charging the batteries full in one day?

Can the used up car battery be feasible to be solar charged?

This looks like a powerful device. This could be used for a variety of purposes.
