Being a travel trailer, isn't the weight of the water a concern? I would think you would need a lot of water or am I missing something? It is heavy enough to drag behind my truck?For heating that trailer, solar hot water will be more effective during daylight, at least. But that is off the main topic here. In engineering everything is a tradeoff: cost versus efficiency is often what it gets down to. If our electrical power grid were upgraded to 95% efficiency probably we cold not afford it.
So collecting high accuracy data will be an interesting way to see just how much you save versus paying for the local power company to deliver power. In sunny areas it makes sense especially if the utility does not provide reliable service. In my area the sun does not provide enough sun- watt hour days to be cost effective much of the year.
