I have 400 watts in Solar Panels installed on the roof of my canned ham camper that I am building. I have been watching Prowse's videos, and I have not seen him mention grounding the panels for his systems. But I have seen some videos of other people grounding their panels. My panels are not...

So my plan for grounding is to get these clips and connect a copper cable, and ground it to the aluminum skin of the trailer. The aluminum skin is already grounded to the frame. Or, would it be better to directly ground the panels to the trailer frame. I would prefer grounding to the skin so...

Yeah, my initial plan was to just use one of Will's blueprints, specifically the minimalist solar package, since i'm so new to this. But then i started thinking about what I might need to use in the trailer, and realized I would like to not use a gas stove. That would mean an induction burner...

Should I buy a Bluetti AC200 to do the solar in my small camper? - I like this idea because I have very little electrical experience, and this really simplifies solar for me. - It also sounds like a pretty great product. BUT, - It only has a 2 year warranty on it. What happens if something...

That's a cool trick with the light I hadn't thought of. Is it fine to just lay romex cable through the walls, have one end connected to a 110 volt outlet, and the other end to a three prong plug plugged into the solar power station?

Just bought a Bluetti AC200 for my small camper. Now I'm shopping for 1 or 2 rigid solar panels to go with it. My Plan was to get one 200W Rich Solar panel, see how that goes, and potentially add a second one. But what I guess I'm understanding from other posts (I'm new to this), the VOC...

Hi, I think I've decided to get a Bluetti AC200 for my camper. This will be my first real electrical project I will be doing, and curious how I'm supposed to connect the Bluetti to the campers fuse box. I see it has a 12v 35amp plug but I am curious on what that plug/cord is, thats used with...

I have four 12volt 100 watt panels with a 24.6 voc, and I wired them in series, so that makes them over 50 voc right? Also for grounding the panels, I should connect each of the frames with a ground? Or since they are all connected to each other anyways, just connect one?

The panels will just be plugged into the new Bluetti Ac200 Solar Power Station, which is 35-150 voc. But what i'm confused about now is shouldn't the power station be grounded somehow?

Trying to decide on what I should go with for a solar system in my camper. I've been using William Prowse's site for help in picking a system. It's pretty good, but I'm currently stuck in deciding if I should buy an all in one system, or not. Here's what I'm thinking. A Growatt 24v 3kw Inverter...

They advised me to wire a fuse between the Bluetti and the fusebox.

I'm doing all of the 12 volt electrical in the camper I am building. Seems pretty simple, and I just bought a few 12 volt receptacles, and some 12 Volt switchs, and lights. But It was then that it came across to me that I have not noticed any electrical outlet boxes in campers, or ceiling light...

One more question. I will be using a solar power station to provide 110v power to the camper, but it will be stationed on one side of the camper with its built in outlets. It would be nice to essentially add an extension chord from the powerstation through the wall and into an outlet on the...

Thanks for the info. I wasn't planning on a fuse. Should i just use a 25 amp inline fuse?

Thanks. I'm going to message Bluetti and ask them. I'm not certain either.

Is there a benefit of going with two 24v 200w panels over two 12v 200w panels?

Sorry for not responding. And thanks for the help. As for the warranty I see on indiegogo it says "Stretch Goal 1.5M Extended Warranty to 3 years". I guess that means the 3 year warranty has been unlocked now? I've never used indiegogo before, so a little confused.

Thanks for these great responses.
