    Critique my design please

    We have gone back and forth on cooking options so it's not a requirement. The generator we have for the mini split could very easily be used for cooking so it is not at all a stressor. Yeah mostly summer cross country trips. Although we do live in az so winter trips are more likely haha.

    Critique my design please

    This is for our skoolie conversion. It is a motor home situation not a full time living. It is mostly for fridge. I have an epever mppt (40 amp), 2x 100amp 12v litime batteries. I built one of will's crate systems and tried to run a freezer of of it with 500w solar. It was a rush build and never...

    Critique my design please

    I guess I didn't catch the brain fart on my drawing. The intention is for 30 amp inline going from bus bar to input on 24v side of the 24/12v transformer. The bluesea is exactly what I have for the 12v side. I've seen 20-40 converters. I was going to aim for the 40 because the bluesea is rated...

    Critique my design please

    Excuse the yellow pad picture but I didn't feel like learning a drawing app. I'm no artist haha. The current plan us 1/0 welding wire for almost everything except the buck converter. I didn't put it in there but I will have some form of disconnect or breaker coming in from solar panels and battery.

    Breaker vs megafuse

    I'm sure this has been asked but I can't find it. I am putting together a solar setup for my school bus. My main question is what is better the megafuses Will suggests on his component guide or breakers.. the breakers are slightly more money but I like the idea of having a breaker to reset...

    Help me understand mppt and dc-dc in use at same time

    Help me understand mppt and dc-dc in use at same time

    Ok that makes sense. This would be 2x 11v 100ah batteries in a 24v configuration. So 70a at 24v. So would you consider that to high?

    Help me understand mppt and dc-dc in use at same time

    I know I have read this works ok but not a lot of details of how. I have an epever mppt. I'd like to add a dc to dc charger for our cross country trip. I'm guessing they will see each others voltage so the voltage output of both will go down to bulk instead of boost voltage? So ill lose a little...

    Help me figure out my skoolie milk crate build

    So to ne honest we purchased and "built" a skoolie in two weeks for a road trip from AZ to MI for my father in laws funeral. So this was kind of a panic purchase. It didnt get put together until we were in MI. We got to use it for a floor fan for the drive home haha. I have a epever tracer...
