Have you dabbled in solar energy and power systems, have previous technical sales experience, and want to couple the two interests together? We tripled our sales in year two (2023) and we're going to at least double it again in 2024. We are distributors for multiple Tier 1 product lines and...

In my off-grid camper build, I used raw 3/4" plywood to mount my various electrical devices - Victron inverter/charger, 2x MPPT controllers, Lynx distribution, Cerbo GX, switches, etc. Of course, after I built the system I realized I should have used something more flame and heat resistant. In...

I have a 2x - 12v battery system in my RV that I put together myself. I am using EVE 280Ah cells and Overkill Solar 12v 120A BMSs. Very soon I am going to introduce two new 12v packs built with the same cells and BMSs. I individually top balanced the original two packs and then put them into...

I currently have two DIY 280Ah battery packs connected in parallel to run my 3000VA MultiPlus and DC loads. I have two MPPT's for solar charging. The system is all installed under the bed in my travel trailer. I am using a Lynx Distributor with MEGA fuses for input from my batteries. Each...

My next project is installing a Pioneer 12K BTU, 120volt mini-split in my 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2800BH. I am going to remove the rooftop A/C unit so that I can install additional solar panels. But this isn't a question about solar, batteries, wiring, mounting, etc. I have a white TPO roof...

I have seen a ton of "how do I make bus bars?" threads since I joined last November. Our very own @Lt.Dan has a group buy going to gauge interest in him cutting out a metric crapload of bus bars out of copper stock. If you're interested, head over to the Group Buy section and let him know if...

I have two banks of EVE 280Ah in 4S (12v) configuration and each with an OverKill 4S BMS. To start with, I'd like to cycle the system between 20%-80% SOC. On my BMS I have full cell voltage=14.00v, 80%=13.28v, and 20%=12.88v. On my MultiPlus and both MPPT controllers I have absorption...

I've decided to use low-profile (13/16") strut channel for the roof of my travel trailer upon which I will mount tilt brackets and 200 watt Rich solar panels. The tilt brackets might not be used often for tilting the panels toward the sun, but will allow me to raise the panels for maintenance or...

I am building my off-grid RV solar system for my travel trailer. I have mounted my primary equipment to a 3/4" piece of poplar veneer plywood. It will be installed under the bed in the front bedroom. While it's not the nicest looking project, I am trying to be neat and tidy. Here are a couple of...

I would like the opinion of people far more experienced than myself if you please. I am putting together my off-grid system for my RV. Due to some design choices and wanting to reduce RFI as much as I can, I have decided to run a 12v battery system. I have a Victron MultiPlus 12/3000/230...

I plan to install 8x 200 watt 24 volt Rich Solar panels on my RV. Imp=5.32A and Isc=5.83A. I have a 12v battery bank. I plan to wire the panels either 8p or 2s4p. Would a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 150/100 (100amp charge current) work? Or should I consider two Victron 150/60? I'm sticking with...

I have some EVE 280Ah cells slowly making their way across the ocean. I've been thinking about how to make the bus bars for the terminals and I think I'd prefer something more flexible than solid bar stock. I've seen some threads with homemade copper lugs attached to tinned copper braid. Is...

Apologies if this isn't the right sub-forum for this question. I'm new here. I'm planning for an off-grid solar + LiFePO4 + inverter/charger system for my travel trailer with the new system running a nominal 24v. To power my existing 12v accessories (tongue jack, electric brakes breakaway...
