Hi guys,
I'm building a campervan here in UK which is rather different the the most RV over here and that is why I'm having problems finding information regarding set up.
In UK most set ups is LPG feed with no or small PV installations probably because of the weather here is not great?
I'd like to go with you through this system I'm planning to build and I'd let you know what I've already bought for it. If you'd see any issues with it I'll be very grateful for any advice as I'm fairly new to this topic.
I want my van to be fuelled only be diesel and solar, no LPG.
I've already bought 4x350w LG NeOn2 which I want to connect in series with 24v3kw mpp solar (max vdc 500v). I've bouth 6mm SOLAR XLS cable to connect those panels with mpp solar.
I've bought on aliexpress set of 8 150ah 3.2v lifepo4 cells and Smart Bluetooth 7S-20S CELL Lifepo4 li-ion 320a bms which now waiting for. The battery will be 1m away from Inverter/Charger so I'm not sure about the wire gauge, 1awg?
I also want to use smart DCtoDC 12/24v 15a charger by Victron which I've been told to connect this straight from battery to the battery!?
I know that I'll need some fused circuit breakers for this set up. Which ones would you recommend?
I was thinking about 30a on the positive PV array, 200a on positive battery to inverter/charger and 20a for dc to dc charger when installed.
If I've missed something else please let me know. I'd appreciate any advice even the most critical ?
Thank you
