  • My 1st solar system: travel trailer w/ 1,660 watts, 24v 100ah, 3,000 watt inverter

    (4) 415 watt Canadia solar panels (2) 150/35 victron controllers (1) 75/15 victron controller serving as dc/dc converter (2) litime 100ah trolling motor batteries in series
  • Why is my inverter overloading?

    3000 watt 24v rich solar inverter, 2x 100ah 12v litime trolling motor batteries in series. 15,000btu AC unit. All components around 1 month old. I've been able to run AC off inverter before, but now I can't. I know a soft start could fix situation, but given my inverter has 6000 watt surge...
  • Victron 75/15 mppt as 24v to 12v converter

    Maybe I'm overthinking this. I have my travel trailer setup with a 24v lifepo4 battery bank connected to solar and inverter. I use a victron 75/15 as a dc dc converter to charge my single 12v SLA that runs the 12v system. My question is in an effort to maximize solar efficiency and limit the...
  • System almost complete, but should I switch to 24 volt?

    I'm being indecisive and could use some advice. I have my panels mounted and wired in 2 series arrays (4x 415watt panels), I have a 3000 watt renogy inverter, and 2 litime 100ah tm batteries in parallel. 2x victron 100/50 controllers are en route. So my conundrum is that the chargers won't get...
  • I've thought about this way too long and I cannot make a decision on whether to get a cheap lifepo4 or lead acid 12v for my otherwise 24v system

    Budget is a big consideration because I would much rather be putting money into expanding my 24 volt battery bank. I currently have 100ah of 24 volt. I have a 15 amp solar charge controller charging my current SLA with the 24 volt system as the source. It's an RV so I need the 12 volt to run the...
  • Grounding 24v inverter in RV.

    Question is: did I ground my inverter correctly or would I be better off not grounding since it's a mobile RV? I have a 24v battery bank and inverter plus 12v system. I grounded everything to frame (12v and 24v charge controllers + 24v inverter). I'm not really sure what it means to be bonded...
