Thanks for the airflow tip, I definitely would have not been able to make it work if I allowed that gap. I'm thinking now about doing one of two options: 6 x 100W(19.83 Voc) and 3 x 30W(19.83 Voc) - All Newpowa products 2 x 240W(27.08 Voc) and 2 x 100W(24.3 Voc) - 240 is Newpowa and 100 are...

Appreciate the help, I was just about to order everything until I triple checked everything... and apparently my dimensions were barely off and once everything added up I'm 3/4" over! Back to playing Tetris...

Thank you for the easy read, that really helped clear up a lot of my confusion. You're correct it's a 12V battery bank. I wanted a 250V charge control because I thought that you had to compensate the total VOC which would be 202.3 - However, it appears I was incorrect and was using battery...

I am working on a Ford Transit van conversion and have yet to install my solar panels. I've done a lot of designing to find the best configuration for my roof space which has 2 AC units and best option I've found would be to use (10) 75W panels. Am I dumb for making myself connect 10 panels...

I thought having a fuse on each separate terminal was extra safe from what I've seen. The wire from the vehicle's battery to the B2B will be about 13 feet, while B2B to battery pretty short. The panels to the MPPT will be around 9 feet. All of the electrical will be mounted to a panel in the...

The battery fuse is the same as terminal fuses, right? So if I have 2 batteries I'll have 4 total fuses? If so, would all blow at once?

rmaddy, I'll upgrade the fuse to 200A from the inverter, I neglected the 1.25 I was going to connect them in parallel with 8 awg to the MPPT and 6 awg from the MPPT . I guess if I have 600W of 12V solar panels I'll be good with a 30A breaker between them and the MPPT? I was actually planning...

Really appreciate the previous feedback - it's been a minute but I've finally made a few updates per yall's recommendations and some more research. -Downgraded to a 2000W inverter -Adjusted all wire from inverter to ground as 2/0 wire. I believe I would be fine with 1/0 but I'm not 100%...

How have these been performing for ya? thinking about purchasing a 300ah.

Thanks rmaddy, I'm going to adjust my diagram to the larger wire sizes and see what wire the inverter requires. I haven't actually purchased anything but I'm sure I can find the manual online. Also appreciate the input on the breakers, that's nice that I will be able to downsize them as the...

Awesome, thank you for that - it makes sense. I'll increase all of the wire from the inverter to the battery to 2/0. Would I be correct in assuming that the negative wires from the battery would need to be increased as well from the battery to the chassis? I'm modifying the 12AWG on the LED's...

I am currently converting a Ford Transit 250 and have spent quite some time these last few weeks trying to figure out how the electrical will work with a lot of hours reading this forum as well as other places. I know a lot of diagrams get posted here so I tried to make mine as clean as possible...
