For those of you that have done large “up and over” installs - have you used a fairing at the front? Any suggestions or issues? I still need to trim down the strut and make connections, but my mount is pretty much finished up.

So its winter and my flat panels just arent cutting it. I have everything mounted to unistrut that run the length of the camper with panel clamps. All of the prefab "tilt kits" I see are for small panels and not panels that are 89" wide. Do any of you have tilt setups for residential panels? How...

I got a quick shower of sparks and now I'm not seeing any voltage from either battery. Is there any chance that there is a resettable breaker inside these things? Luckily nothing else was connected yet - I was just tying the 2 batteries together. I know the battery cases are like sealed - Is...

The Multiplus 12/3000/120-50 has a secondary ac output that is only on when on shore power. Does anyone know if it can be configured to be always on just like the primary output? I understand the value of having it only on when on shore, but for my application it would simplify my wiring if it...

Do any actually exist? If not, what about 200ah? Its frustrating that they almost always list it as a feature but then in teardowns they don't function. Some of the cheapies (like AmpereTime) seem like they will work fine for my use, but if a cold snap destroys them, thats no good. We live in...

Hello - I recently purchased a 2011 Born Free Class C RV with a Xantrex Freedom 458 2000watt inverter/charger. The RV is a 30amp input and the battery system is 12v, currently with 2 cheapie 100AH lead acid batts. I also have a 3600 watt generac generator. I'm having issues with the 458 charging...

So I have been slowly building out a system in a used 10 year old RV that had a factory 2000watt charger/inverter and on onboard generator. I used a MultiPlus 12/3000/120-50 as a drop in replacement for the original charger/inverter. Once I added some panels and batteries, I realized that...

I currently have 3 200watt panels on my RV and I would like to add ~1600watts more. I can fit 4 more panels with a max size of 42"x82" a pop. I live in Rhode Island. Any recommendations for decent resellers? I had been looking at the JAM72S10-410/MR from Solaris-shop.com but I have seen a lot...

So I just picked up 4 SolarEver 455 watt panels from Santan for my RV. I'm planning to run them to a Victron SmartSolar 150/100 MPPT. This will be in addition to the 3 200watt panels I have connected to a Victron 100/50. Batteries are (2) Powerqueen 300AH chin's clones in a 12V system with a...

Howdy All - Last year I built out a pretty capable setup in our Class C, pretty much exclusively through what I learned in these forums: 2420Watts of panels Multiplus 12|3000|120 Smart Solar 150|100 & Smart Solar 100|50, Orion 12|12-30 DC/DC (2) 12v 300AH Power Queen Cooper & Hunter 9kBTU...
