Check YouTube, several sizes built, I am building one myself, very similar to Will’s.

Here it is, a year later, I did get the existing solar system working properly and did not change anything. I now have a 5k btu inverter window ac in a bedroom and 12k btu Mr cool mini split in the living/kitchen area. I can run both ac’s all day without using any battery drain and turn off Mr...

Yes, that is what I’m going to do. Got some well and water leak problems I’m working on currently, solar is standing by, batteries fully charged and I am using some electricity but not living conditions. Not spending the night yet.

The hot water tank in our trailer works pretty well, I may look at it further.

I’m thinking of three 48v 5 kw batteries

Might look into solar hot water, was very popular in Colorado when I was in the Boulder area.

Thank you for your input, would need to double my solar for 15kw of battery

Yes, if I go lithium.

Bad math, more like 5,500 usable.

Thank you, I have found it is a very good system and will go to lithium to improve usable power.

I have at least figured out what I have. 8 batteries in series 6v at 240a each, 11,520w, 6,300 usable, 3.6kw inverter, 80a charge controller and 2520w of solar with an integrated 20k generac generator, on propane. There is also a 240v transformer with the well, 2 ton air conditioner and water...

Thank you, I called the installer and left a message but he has not responded.

Disregard, I tried to post a video.
