    24 volt to 12 volt

    I think I understand your question better. But. Will the Victron 100/30 change the output voltage from the 2 12v panels wired in series to 12v??

    24 volt to 12 volt

    Sorry. 12v panels wired in series to lower the overall amps for the distance. I need a 24v to 12v converte. Where would I install this component in my system to keep everything else 12v?

    24 volt to 12 volt

    Sorry if this has already been answered. I want to ground deploy 2 100 watt panels using a contractor grade 10awg, 50ft extension cord back to my trailer. I have a Victron 100 I 30. Question: what (suggestions) and where in my system would I put the required component? I prefer to keep...

    Thanks for the info. I notice Will had the charger on a list of good charges so I purchased it.

    In the first picture I was planning on cutting off the circled plug and installing the second picture receptacle.

    The 3-way switch was more of a desire to disconnect the battery. Plus the added choice to pick just one charge source. Probably old school thought. The shore power and plug are part of the same component. I plan cutting off the current plug and adding an outdoor receptacle for a extension cord...

    New trailer solar build

    I found this charger/converter on one of Wills lists. The price fits my current budget right now. The battery is that new one Will opened up. The Chins/Amperer/Zooms battery. Aside from the packaging, the price is right. Especially for 200AH. It’s says it can charge at 14.4v +/- .2v. I’m not...

    Right now I’m planning on just a 12 volt system with a small inverter down the road. Loads: LED lights, usb receptacles, Iceco fridge, small diesel heater, water pump. Power: 3, 100 watt solar panels hooked up to a Victron 10/30 charger, converter/charger for shore power. Like you, I prefer 12V...

    New trailer solar build

    Ok. I was concerned the shore power would send juice INTO the solar controller. I do need (thank you) a disconnect between panel and controller. I am planning on using this converter: Progressive Dynamics PD9130LV 12V Lithium Ion Battery Converter/Charger - 30 Amp for my 12v 200AH battery. Will...

    New trailer solar build

    I am in the process of buying components for my solar system and shore power set up. Do I need a device to prevent the shore power from pushing juice into the solar charge controller? I was thinking of using a three way switch by Blue Sea. Off, shore power, solar power. Than an additional main...
