I get inverter efficiency is up there. But my plan is to run as many things off DC as possible. For example for non-appliance things, if there is a transformer inside, I can adapt that to run strictly off DC. That’s something I’ll tackle on my own.
but it would just be probably two AC inputs...
I've been leaning towards Victron equipment for monitoring and charging likely.
I want to build the circuit to handle charging from solar, onboard power generation, & shore power.. Do controllers exist to handle more than two power sources like that?
Glad to know that you have been successful so far. I was considering some of the Victron products, but unsure how I can integrate everything into a central control panel to get the type of monitoring and real time display I'm after or if all the gear would work together. I was considering...
The system capacity is going to be fairly large, and be installed on a Skoolie conversion. The panels I picked would fit in the roof without issues (350W units or higher when the time comes to purchase)
I'm strictly in the planning stages at the moment, but I need solid info, because I prefer...
Hello all. I'm currently in the planning stages for my Skoolie conversion. I have some power questions for you all.
I've settled on 48V (51.2V full charge OC voltage) LiFeP04 system. I've got some solar panels picked out (350W units from either Panasonic or LG)
This will be a long-ish term...
Can't you just use some angled aluminum to build them into a frame totally mitigating that issue? plus you'd have more points you can bolt them down with anyways?
The reason I'm personally looking into DC only things is that there will be less wear and tear on components and less components in the system, and some things would be a lot easier to DIY repair in the long run. Plus, it seems a lot of modern appliances are getting spendy these days for not a...
Found this freezer/company while watching another Youtuber

Capable of 12V/24V or even be outfitted for 48V DC...

You're right on the weight.. Maybe I should shoot for around 60-70kWh? Because also, my bus conversion, I'm planning on around 200 gallons of fresh water storage in baffled tanks.. and maybe two or more spread out for weight distribution.
This is a long term project, meaning it will take me a...
This is going to be a semi long-term planning stage for me. My requirements are firm for capacity. Everything else is open to debate.
I realize a few things, cost of batteries is nearly going to make my wallet catch on fire, which is why this is long term planning (mostly the batteries)
This...
