Has anyone built/is using Will Prowse's All-In-One Solar Power System (12V) and if so, how do you like it?
I am getting ready to build my electrical system and I am torn between building a variant of Will's "The Classic 400 Watt Solar Package", or going with the "All-In-One Solar Power System (12V)". I am also considering the 400 Watt Solar Package w/ Alternator Charging but I have concerns about messing with the vehicles electrical.
The main difference between the two, that I see, is that the All-In-One uses MPP Solar's Solar Inverter - this essentially combines the Solar controller, the Inverter and really anything else AC related into one box. I like that it even provides you with a line for shore power and an automatic transfer switch that can detect which power to draw from when charging up - solar or shore. The alternative, with either of the other 400W packages, would be buying the AC components individually, and building it yourself.
So I wanted to see if anyone was in the same position and ultimately, see what you decided to do and why. I can see pros and cons to both configurations.
I will also note, that I am aiming for a 400W system with 12V 200Ah LiFePO4 batteries.
