Okay that makes sense. I think this would be the option I'd want then...

I have one more question. What is the difference between isolated vs. non-isolated DC-DC converters?

Good to know. To maximize our 800W (if we got 4), we'd probably want to upgrade the MPPT so it's not clipped

Gotcha - our panels are: 200W, 18.6V Vmp, 10.75A Imp, 21.8V Voc, 11.47A Isc

Haha okay that makes sense. Yeah I think we'll plan on 3 if there are no safety concerns :D. If we don't get enough juice, we'll upgrade the MPPT and put a 4th panel on haha. Speaking of MPPT, the 100/50 should work for 3 panels - but would it work for 4 panels?

We're going to try to stay at 3 panels for now to save some space on our roof. Is there a reason why we should not have 3 panels? We did purchase a Y branch connector that can combine 3 panels in parallel (both M/FFF and F/MMM).

Hey there! I've been out of town and haven't had time to revisit this until now. We've decided to change our solar array to have the following: 3x 200W solar panels (link below). I made a few changes but before purchasing any parts, I was looking to see if you have any input regarding proper...

Could you explain more on what you mean?

Okay it sounds like I need larger wire - better to be safe than sorry! The switch I put in was just a placeholder - if you have any recommendations on switches that'd handle the load that'd be great! I am using 2x 300AH Epic Lithium Batteries that each have a built in 150A Smart BMS. The local...

Okay - I have made a second draft and edited it in the original post. I am curious on your thoughts :). I've also provided a list of stuff in the diagram, as well as some questions.

Good to know. We will have shore and an alternator running as well, which will help put power back into the batteries. We are in the US and will most likely be traveling weather patterns for best seasons.

Great feedback - I am going to create a new diagram and repost when I can.

Thanks Mike - I am going to take your feedback and create a more details diagram and repost when I can :). In regards to the 3000W inverter, I was read that a lot of induction cooktops require 1800W of power to use, and if we were to use that for an extended period of time the inverter would...

We're targeting no less than 600W of solar for our system. The image doesn't quite note that well enough, that's my fault. I was reading that a lot of induction cooktops require 1800W of power to use, and if we were to use that for an extended period of time the inverter would need to be a bit...

-- A few questions that I have: Should this be a 12V system or a 24V system? I am not sure on the solar size yet as it depends on the room on the roof. I am thinking somewhere between 500-800W, how will this range change what I need to do in the diagram? Is there a more efficient way to wire...
