Ok, so new to solar/battery power systems…designing a food truck that I want to be free from a noisy generator to run it (even a Honda is more noise than I’d like).
My goal?
1. To have a traditional 50A shore power system (when available and/or for charging system when parked at home.)
2. Have battery bank Solar charging/shore line charging when needed.
3. Ability to switch from shore to battery-powered system (auto? Too pricey?)
Food truck has:
- refrigerator (rated at 3A)
- freezer (4.7A)
- prep table (3.5A)
- hood system (5A)
- Misc charging of iPads/pos system
- 65” flatscreen
- led lighting
I have:
4000W and a 5000W inverter—good deal from an auction![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
50A breaker box
Oh, and ONE solar panel so far, lol! Looking for deals on marketplace.
…and wondering what other components needed.
BMS?
Transfer switch?
Inline fuse?
24v system?
Battery type/quantities?
All help appreciated AND will post a YT video of the process for others considering doing this as well!
