    This particular day the fog burned off by 9:00, then it was solar charging business as usual. The amount of charging possible on foggy or overcast days depends on how thick the coverage is and how long it's like that. I can usually have a full charge before sundown. That's with a 270W panel charging two 104Ah batteries.
