I have been busy past few days. The positive leads from the solar panels go into a breaker switch then into the respective SCCs. All wires from the roof to the SCCs are the same length by color. All the black negative lines from the roof to SCCs and from SCCs to Bus Bars are equal. The positive...

I am installing 2 310 AMP nominal 12 volt batteries in parallel to my 5th wheel. I am also installing 840 watts of solar panels hooked 2s then each pair running to its own EPEVER 40 Amp SCC. Given my 5th wheel is parked and charging a lot more than it is running down the batteries I am...

I have 4 210 watt solar panels that will be connected 2s each to its own EPever 40 Amp SCC. Panel specs Power: 210 Watt 6 Busbar Monocrystaline Vmp: 22.42V Voc: 24.9V Imp: 9.37A Isc: 9.85A Maximum System Voltage: 600V J-Box is IP67 Rated with Diodes Cables: 12AWG, approximately 3 feet Wire...

Have nearly everything on hand to install the system. On Hand: 8 LiFePO4 310 AH Cells 2 Daly 150 AMP BMS with fan 4s 2 200 AMP Switches 2 EPever 40 Amp MPPT SCC Tracer4215BN 1 Victron Multi PlusII 12 /3000 10 Ft Black 1/0 Cable * 10 Ft Red 1/0 Cable * 1 300 AMP shunt 25 Ft 6 Gauge 4 wire Cable...

The last piece of my puzzle is the Shunt and Battery monitor. Other than the Brand Name is there a really good reason to go with a Victron vs an approximately half priced shunt and monitor?

The victon Multiplus II I ordered the end of May came yesterday. Time to measure roof order panels and rest of stuff to go solar. Have the Battery Cells for 2 310 AH LiFePO4 batteries on hand and the BMSs for them

I am considering wiring in a pre-charge circuit for my solar controllers using a 100 watt 30 Ohm resister a switch and probably 10 guage wire to essentially bypass the main breakers to the SCCs and a separate bypass with another resistor for the inverter. The goal is to pre-charge capacitors...

Planning on installing a new victron multiplus II 3000 12 volt. Is it a good idea to wire this in with a by pass or just run the shore power directly to the Multi plus II directly then bring the AC back to the distribution panel? Think a couple of those 1-0-2 switches would get the job done...

I am planning to make 2 310 Amp hour batteries each with 4 s configuration and its own 4s 150AMP BMS and connected to a 40 amp Solar charge controller. My question is how to hoop up the solar charge controller. Part of me wants to just hook the negative lead from each SCC to the load side of...

Still in the planning phase of this project that will eventually end with 4 210 Watt Solar Panels connected 2s each pair connected to its own 40 Amp controller connected to 2 12 Volt DYI Lithium 310 AH batteries and most likely a victron multi 3000 12 to 120 inverter converter. I am rather at a...

I had initially planned to configure system with 280 AH Cells in a 2p4S configuration and run my panels 2s 2P into A single 60 AMP SCC brand immaterial for now. Having read a lot of posts on the forum a lot of folks are running 4s2p configurations using 2 BMS one for each 4 pack. Having read a...

essentially the title says it all. If there are real advantages of say using a victron shunt in addition please enlighten me

I am researching putting a solar system on my Elkridge Extreme Light E282 Fifth Wheel. Planning on building my lithium battery 12 v 280 or 270 ah cells with 4s 2p configuration. with a 250 or 300 amp daly bms. Will be putting in a 3000 inverter onto the system. I may possibly use the...

Been dragging a 5th wheel around for about 10 years now and really dont want to run a generator all the time or stay with full hookups. I am looking to build a solar system for my Elkridge E 292 Extreme lite Fifth wheel. Probably running 2 laptops 3 to 4 hrs making 2 pots of coffee just brew...
