Getting ready to do a final install of my solar components. Finally have the interior finished enough that I can install my Victron components. Already installed: BlueSea systems 12v fuse panel powering three separate LED light circuits on dimmers, three Hike Crew powered ceiling vent fans, a...

Ok got it. I'm going to add 3-4 more BB before I'm done so is there a version for balancing more than two batteries? Any input on the circuit breaker question? Any recommendations on the 24 to 12 v step down you mentioned earlier? I like the idea of having a deployable additional stack of...

I'm also a snob so I picked the Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT 100V 50 Amp 12/24-Volt Solar Charge Controller (Bluetooth). Would the 150/45 be better for any reason? I understand it has a higher voltage limit, seems like that would only be helpful in the future when panels get better and I can...

I appreciate how detailed you're being, I just don't know enough about this stuff and feel like I'm out of my league. I...

Thank you for the feedback and links! I appreciate the help very much. I'm looking back toward a component based system now. I agree with the major concern that a silo'd system won't effectively take advantage of the solar input which was a concern of mine. According to the off grid king list...

Noob here just starting out with the goal of an off grid boondocking system in my 22ft trailer. Go easy on me! I have a friend who knows a lot more about all of this than I do and they have been helping me figure it out. Their recommendation: Instead of building a system from scratch with...
