So my power needs on the AC side aren't all that big. Everything's 120V, and I have a few larger AC appliances (induction top, oven, and water heater) which each pull roughly between 1200W-1800W when they're blasting. Let's also assume my minisplit is often cooling me off at 600W. My dilemma is...

I just need to verify some fundamentals here. I've currently got a 2s3p array of 400w panels, each 48.9 voc and 10.39 isc. The distance between the combiner box and the SCC is about 6'. I'm using 10awg for that run. With my 24V battery bank charging begins at about 35V which happens quite early...

I can't seem to find a small breaker box that fits my needs, but perhaps I am misunderstanding how they work. I am very new to this. I only have 10 AC circuits planned, all 15-20A. I'd like a small breaker box that fits at least 5 tandem breakers to support these in addition to a main breaker...

This setup seems intuitive to me, but there are areas where my understanding is lacking (e.g. isolation?), so I want to verify my plan makes sense. I have a 24V battery bank and plan to run mostly 12V appliances, but some 24V as well. I'd like to have a single Lynx Distributor fuse going to a...

Hi, I can't seem to figure this out after reading the beginner resources. I see that everyone seems to factor the number of panels N into, say, S series x P parallel. For example if you have 6 panels, people consider either 2S x 3P or 3S x 2P. Well, I'm putting solar panels on top of a 34' bus...

We have now felt this a couple times when opening the metal door of our recently converted bus. For context, our electrical system is largely based on Explorist.Life diagrams (e.g. this one) with a few diversions (24v battery bank, no alternator charging, both 12v and 24v distribution, and a 50a...
