Sounds like they need a larger deep cycle battery so they can capture and use more of the energy. 600W is 50A @ 12V. Thats not too far from the max output of a normal alternator. I sure as heck know that a car doesn't use 50A just running down the highway, yet they only get 30% of electricity production from it?
