Just wanted to pop in and say hello. Just purchased a Lectric ebike and while I the website indicates it will be delivered sometime in April, with all that is going on I'll be patient and look forward to it sometime in May. Until then, I'll begin my homework on outfitting the bike to make it more comfortable for me, with particular interest on solar charging. Glad to be a part of the community.

welcome to the site.
You'll need either 3 to 4 12 v panels to get to 36 or 48, and a battery named 48 v charges to 53.4 . Or buy a 12 v to 36 v or 48 v inverter. 48 v is a telephone voltage and I think vicor makes some 12 to 48, but they won't adjust to 53.4 I don't imagine.
Rains too often here for me to get into solar. Looked at wind but all the California vendors put a lot of sensitive electronics on top of a grounded steel pole. Love to sell those controllers I imagine. Looked at water since I have 6 acres draining into a pond, but all the california vendors sell systems that have to be dried out and stored in a safe area below freezing. If I was 10 years younger I might take them on.
