Using solar to replace all electrical power for an alt delete defiantly not practical for everyone.
My little 40 mile night drive took the better part of 2 days to recharge the battery.
Most of us will still have to use an external charger at night to keep the battery up and use the solar during the day to at the very least lessen the depth of discharge for the return trip.
With my short 12 mile round trip the electrical system was easily getting a full charge off only 50 watts worth of panels.
I have 90 watts installed, have 50 more watts to still put on and then I may expand up to anywhere from 180 to 220 watts.
