I have an off-grid trailer setup. Currently 2s3p. Charging 4 x 100ah 12v LifeP04. Using a Victron 150/60 MPPT. I use an inverter to power a dorm size fridge and a TV. All other power consumption is 12v and just led lights and a phone charger. Problem is my campsite is shaded much of the day...

I have 2 chins 12v 100ah lifepo4's. It's been brutally cold here lately. I'm using a victron smartsolar mppt and I have the battery temp sensor. The mppt was set to cut off charge at 5c (probably not low enough?) Came out to the camper and I was showing around 11v, apparently it had been so...

I have the Giandel 2200w inverter that Will recommends for a 400w system. It has the ability to hook up 110v 2-phase (although now Im not sure if its actual 2-phase or not) wire so that I can have a 110 socket away from the inverter. However the only markings on the terminals are an L N and a...

I'm installing Chins Chinese LiFePO4 12v batteries in a solar camper project. The plan is to install them under the bed in a vented compartment, using typical Prowse blueprints (fuse/breaker locations, wire sizes, etc). I recently watched a few videos of batteries catching fire. What concerns...

I am planning on running a 110v fridge off of a 12v solar system. Other than the fridge I basically only have a very few occasional use 110v items. My question is, would it be more efficient to have a small dedicated inverter solely for the fridge? Its a 60 watt fridge. So maybe a small 100w...

The basic premise is gravity is not the dominant force in the solar system (and beyond). The sun is not a nuclear camp fire in the sky but rather an electric plasma ball powered by intersteller electric currents known as "birkland currents". I know it seems wild but there is a rather...

I'm building a camper system. Currently the plan will be 4x100w panels run 2 banks in series parrallel. Initially I will only be running 200ah of Lifepo4 batteries. Ultimately I suspect I will need to upgrade to 600w of panels and 400ah of battery. I have purchased a victron 60a smart mppt...
