As the post title suggests, I'd like to know if 1"x.125" aluminum I have will suffice for busbars in my temporary setup while building out a full mobile build (Class C RV). I want to get some basic power asap while I take my time getting the final build installed correctly. I expect to have the full system installed in the next month or so. I'm currently off-grid, and would like to reduce (or eliminate) my genny use.
The short-term plan is to wire up 8 of my 24v 20ah battery packs in parallel, wire up my Growatt 3000 (24v) along with three of the five 395 watt solar panels I'll be using, and run a 30a outlet for the RV house power.
I saw Will's YT video on busbars for parallel batteries rather than daisy-chaining them, and would like to do that in both the temporary and final builds. I've reviewed the posts discussing the advantages of copper vs. aluminum vs. brass vs. steel. Where this is the temporary plan while I finish the design and components of the final build, I'd like to know if my aluminum will be sufficient for the above outlined temporary system. Thanks!
