Thanks a lot for all the reply’s. This place is great and I really appreciate the sharing of knowledge. I’m going to try and put a list together of what I think I need. Here is a vid of my cabin.

I’m just hoping to get some advice on a system I’m in the process of building. I built a 500 sq ft cabin with all 12v lighting and rv appliances with wood stove as well for heat. 12v unique brand stand up 24” width fridge. It’s set up to be fed with power from a 30a rv cord for the 110v plugs...

And I’ll also need a dc to dc converter to step the voltage down to 12v for the low voltage stuff inside the cabin.

Thank you for the response. This sounds like it makes the most sense. So if I’m understanding this correctly, if I set up these batteries to be at 24v, I’d have exactly half the charging amperage? If so, what is the advantage of going with the higher voltage systems?

Thank you very much. Good thing I asked as I was going to do it differently.

Thank you. Decisions, decisions.

So I just checked the panels and they’re 250 w 30.4V and 8.22 A.

Right now the only constant consumption is the fridge running all the time. We will likely get Starlink out there too as it’s remote with no cell coverage there. That way we could run a couple security cameras that we could monitor from home. In 10 years once the kids are gone, we will sell...

I’ve got 6 250 watt solar panels and just want to make sure I’m going to wire them correctly. I want to do two strings of three panels. Can I just use the 3-1 mc4 connectors to make the two strings and then use the 2-1 mc4 connectors so that there’s just two wires going into the charge...
