We've had issues recently with our power grid going down from time to time. We've lost food in our refrigerator on too many occassions and I'm looking to build the most basic, affordable, barebones battery/inverter/charge controller/solar panel setup. I've watched enough of Will's video to...
I just pulled out the cables that Renogy sent with this 2000W inverter. They're 2, 2 gauge cables that are connected with a 200 amp connector. So apparently, instead of 1, 2 gauge cable (which would only handle 100 amps), they're tying 2, 2 gauge cables together. This makes more sense now...
I am building my 2000-watt inverter setup with 12V batteries and a 40 amp charge controller. I'm following the exact setup Will has here:

But after doing the calculations:
2000 (inverter size in watts) / 12 (volts) x...
I have been reviewing Will's setup here:
https://www.mobile-solarpower.com/the-classic-400-watt-rvs-vans-buses.html
In the section on fuses, he mentions that in order to determine the fuse size coming from the battery to the inverter, you simply multiply the maximum current the inverter is...
I recently came across the Mango Power E:

There's a lot I find appealing about it, but I can't find any independent reviews on any of their products (on Will Prowse's channel) or other YT channels which cover these. Anyone know anything about them or...
I just read Will's explanation of the Classic 400 Watt Solar Package. The one thing that I'm not clear on in his explanation regarding the wire size connecting the battery/fuse/inverter. In this part of his video, he explains he uses 4 AWG and 6 AWG wiring to tie everything together...
