Hey all!
I'm converting a campervan, and I have 2 100w solar panels feeding into a 100ah lithium battery. It's powering very few 12v appliances (some 12v sockets, led lights, and a low amp vent fan) and a 1000w inverter (that will be used seldomly to charge our laptops, maybe run some hair clippers, nothing too crazy).
Everything is running into common bus bars (rated to 300a).
I have a 20a DC-DC Charger from Renogy, and in the manual it says that hooking up this to a car battery connects into the vehicles common grounding system, which is what I'm doing.
Does this mean I don't have to build a ground into my solar set up, given the presence of the dc-dc charger in my setup?
Or am I missing something important?
