So would that entail wiring my transfer switch differently?

The original wiring in the RV's transfer switch makes the generator priority. If the generator is running and the shore power is connected the transfer switch will take the 120v from the generator over the shore power. This I believe is to maintain the constant bond. When only shore power is...

Yes, it is the Esco.

If I do 2s4p then it will downgrade the 450 watt panels to lowest wattage panels, which are 420 watts. Is that correct? Also, it looks like my 3048 can only take in 145 VDC and a 2s4p configuration would be 245 v if my math is correct. Is that correct?

That's what I thought but wanted to be sure. Some people on the internet said to program one of the controllers to handle the absorption phase and not the other. Does that sound correct?

What size wire would you recommend? I should probably use a combiner box to protect everything.

What if the inverter is hardwired from the auto transfer switch on the RV. When plugged into shore power it's bonded, when using generator it's bonded. So there is no need to have the inverter do any bonding, correct? The old school inverters/chargers like Freedom, Heart, Magnum etc didn't do...

Here is how my RV is currently wired. My manual says that the generator is primary. So my question is, the factory wired the RV the way this schematic shows. If the generator has always been priority then how was the neutral/ground bond established when there is no power from the gen or the...

My RV transfer switch is a ES50M-65N. According to the specs this should work. The generator always takes precedence if running. If my Eg4 6000xp is hard wired into this switch at all times then the ground neutral bond will be maintained at all times. Is this correct? So there would be no...

How would I change the priority from 1st Generator and 2nd Shore, to 1st Shore and 2nd Gen?

The Vmp of the 450 panels are 40.76 and the Vmp of the 420 panels are 41.08

Hello All I have a 1997 Monaco RV that I am putting going to install solar. I have 8 panels. 4 are 420 watt and 4 are 450 watts. I plan to have two arrays of 2s2p configuration which will give me 3480 watts total. I have two lithium batteries at 48 volts from a VW Electric Car. I already...

If I added 4 more panels and put them on a smaller controller would I wire them the same as the other? 2s2p?

Awesome. Thank you
