Hi, My wife and I just bought a 2002 Fleetwood Terra Class A motor home that we plan on going boon docking for extended periods of time. Sometimes it will be in hot, muggy environments. So, I want to build a system that could eventually run the AC off of the batteries.
After watching Will's videos, I'm thinking that I would like to build a 48 Volt system starting with (8) 200 watt rigid solar panels and (4),100ah Battle Born lithium phosphate batteries wired in series. I'm planning on adding additional panels and batteries at a later time as I can afford them.
The AC unit that is currently up there is a Carrier and I believe that it is a 13.500 btu unit which should take 2750 watts to start up and 1250 watts to run. I plan on installing a soft start so if anybody has any opinions on that, your input would be greatly appreciated.
Anyway, what do you guys think? Your help is appreciated!
