YT video switcher This is INGENIOUS! for solar and 50a/30a/20a (any amp) shore power and autoswitching! Solves the problem above I believe. If not let me know. I think AM solar is not making this any more. https://amsolar.com/

I've done similar to my Keystone 35ft (30A) trailer. Used 6/210w panels into a Growatt 24v/3000 (mounted on televator) w 2/170AH bigbatteries.com batteries, that is then plugged directly into the stock trailer wiring (via a male plug in the floor). ***** One key thing I would recommend to all...

Battery Monitor in and working...now need to calibrate, but have to move the trailer off premises, just got HOA complaint. Will be using the temp sensor to monitor cabinet space temp and/or main battery cable temp...etc. Very handy. FYI, have both the measuring module and monitor mounted against...

Thank you. About to install. Will work through all the firmware upgrades I’m sure. Thx

Newbie here...bought this battery monitor to finish my solar install and read entire post and looks like this monitor is getting better by the day. I know this may seem simple to you folks but does this wiring diagram look correct? All the instruction vids I see have cables that run off screen...

Sorry...ignore repeat post. The original post was not showing up this morning. Can't find how to delete... 2nd post has the instruction diagram in the image.

Thanks, I'll have to look into that. For now I'll have to go with what I have and test it real time on the road. Last part of the install now is a battery monitor. I picked up one of these and watched lots of vids on how to install. From what I can tell, this would be how I integrate it. Am...

Curious...would you mind sharing what mini-split you installed? I was just doing some research and found good reviews on this model (but 12k BTU) but take a look at the energy/watts specification which still looks to be about 1240w if I'm reading that right...

Thanks for such a detailed reply...let me review a few times to get my head around the numbers. But regardless, you're thinking the wire setup looks to be technically correct, right? I'd really like to get those extra 2 panels in series. Thanks again...

OK...soooooo...here's an update. Original plan was all 8 panels on the roof...but decided to keep two as ground panels in case we're in shade. But if I had these 2 panels outside the series I'd need a 2nd controller/charger (trying to avoid). Soooo...was thinking of doing this. Is this crazy...

Hi all, just completing a solar (and fireplace/heaeter) install in camping trailer with Growatt 24v 3000 and 2-24v Hawks from bigbattery. While Hawks have their own build in BMS, it seems I can't connect the Growatt to monitor State of Charge. I need to monitor state of charge. May have to go...

I'm found this same issue. No battery monitor on 24v Hawk batteries. Why in the world would you ever build a battery without State of Charge monitoring ability. It's like building a car without a gas gauge. When you buy a car, you just assume it would have a gas gauge, no? Now I have to find a...

Yes, all panels are the same, and yes I have room on the roof for 2 more (down the center). That was the original plan, but if in the shade, wanted option to move a pair of ground panels out to sunlight, and also to be able to follow the sun through the day. The ground pair of panels would be...

Updated layout...added 2nd controller and laid the batteries down, that just fit. More stable and can read front LED panel way better. Also included a pic of the rear entertainment area w lots of space behind. Will also be replacing the bottom 2 shelves in the front with electric...

Thanks...yea, so ordering a separate controller for the roof panels w bluetooth/app monitoring and will use the Growatt solar for ground panel input, with battery cables from both controllers running to a bus bar, then bus bar into the growatt. I'll re-illustrate and post. Thx

Hi all...finally getting around to finishing this project and working out the kinks. This is being installed in a 35' Keystone 395RE trailer with a rear living floor plan. 1. The plan is to remove the hidden TV in the entertainment cabinet at the back of the RV and replace with the Growatt...

Hello all, After many hours of research and (attempted) learning and actually spending $$$ on equipment, I'm now assembling the mobile solar setup on a hand cart for mobile dry camping as well as emergency home use. I've seen a few youtube vids on this process but I'm not for sure how to...
