    I will store my batteries in that battery storage compartment which is located on the outside of the vehicle. It's a 2009 ford E-450 that I've converted.

    One more thing is there a substitute I can use for butyl tape, where I'm located it's not sold in stores it has to be ordered.

    What you sent me says 200a fuse and #2 Guage wire
  • Post in thread: Solar help for bus life

    I purchased the 250a breaker for between battery and inverter. The charge controller will be about 6-7 inches away
  • Post in thread: What components am I missing for solar setup

    Ok thank you
  • Post in thread: Solar help for bus life

    My wire will be 6 inches apart from battery to battery, 9 inches apart from battery to inverter

    I will not be upgrading as I have other sources of power

I'm making sure I have the right information so I can purchase the wire and fuses So I need 1awg and 150A for batteries to parallel and batteries to inverter and 8awg is good for controller the distance should be between...

    Can I use this battery for inverter?
  • Post in thread: Solar help for bus life

    So I will need 2 Guage instead of 4
  • Post in thread: What components am I missing for solar setup

    Ok, so you're saying I'm only missing the wires and fuse that goes in between the battery. SCC is mppt. Was thinking about using 10 and 4 gauge wires
  • Post in thread: What components am I missing for solar setup

    Are you serious it stated SCC was mppt. Panels are actually suntech. Was thinking series. Will buy AGM batteries and yes it's for a vehicle
  • Post in thread: Solar help for bus life

    I also have 2 generators and shore power. Don't want anything interfering with my alternator since it'll be expensive to change.
  • Post in thread: What components am I missing for solar setup

    Don't remember how much I paid for it. How can I make sure the SCC is mppt. Will return this one.
  • Post in thread: What components am I missing for solar setup
