[RE-wrenches] Solar Golf Cart

[Jason Szumlanski]

I'm hoping to use a single panel to replace the roof, but I need to charge
a 51.2V LFP, and I don't know if there are any panels on the market that
have a high enough Vmp. The REC Alpha Pure RX 460W is close to the typical
float voltage of 51.2V LFP batteries, but that's all I really can think of.
