I’ll give that a shot thanks!!

That’s good to hear! Thanks for the help!

Thanks! It is a 12v system. I dont have a large battery, (BB OWL 170AH) but also dont have a large draw. But I also havent started boondocking much yet and want to make sure i have as much capability as possible. Thanks! I think I'm going to go with the 3s2p format.

Michael, I think that makes a lot of sense. These are mounted flat on an RV roof, so i don't foresee ever being in perfect world scenario with these panels. I had it hooked up 2s2p for a few months and think the highest I ever saw was about 220 watts at 10 amps. If I go with three in series I...

Ok thanks!

Max input voltage is 100 watts.

So I don’t have an inverter charger. so that diagram makes sense except the ATS has no earth ground out. Only L/N for inverter, shore power and output.

I have the Renogy 400 watt solar kit and am pretty sure it can handle a few more panels than the four it came with. Can someone make sure I’m not missing something? 40 Amp Renogy MPPT Max solar input - 530 watts / 50 amps Panels VoC -21.6 Lmp- 5.72 amps 2s3p would be 43.2 volts and 17.16 amps...

The ATS does not have any input or output for Earth ground and does no switching of the neutral or earth, since the earth ground is not included. I think the correct answer is tie the shore power earth ground and output wire earth ground together. Small ground loop but its either that or not...

Did you wire a small bus bar to clip the breaker in? Also ive seen little plug in adapters that have a "built-in" breaker, but none that seem legit or UL listed. Anyone know if these have been tested anywhere...

Yes I know to fuse/breaker to the wire size, hence the 15 amp for the 14/2 romex. I know the stranded wire/braided in rv conversation but this wire is all contained in the same compartment as the shore power plug and ac distribution which is all 10/2 and 14/2 romex. None of it is routed...

I would need to check but am pretty sure the 3-prong plug outlet is breaker'ed internally to 15 amps but this is mounted in a not very accessible location (under a bed) and it feels a little janky to have a cut extension cord. I would prefer to have the 14/2 to a breaker and then an outlet in a...

The inverter is a 2000W Renogy. The wired output supports up to 30 amps but since i'm using 14/2 and only one outlet I definitely need it breaker'ed to 15 amps. I am not trying to build out a breaker box due to size and seems unnecessary. The links you put on i saw on amazon but the push...

So I’ve decided against wiring my inverter into my rv’s AC distribution panel due to a few different reasons. I’m going to run 14/2 Romex from the inverter to a single outlet co located to my inverter remote switch. This way if im Boondocking and need AC I can turn on the inverter and plug in...

No I just put the hot wire to the converter into the same port of the ATS with shore power. I put a 15 breaker on the line since it was skipping the breaker on the AC distribution panel. This way regardless of what the ATS is doing, if shore power is present it’s charging the battery.
