Hi all. This is my first post. I am about to build my main solar power system and I’m gathering parts right now. It will be in my 28 foot BlueBird School bus. I think I can fit about 8 450w panels on the roof. We are about to build a small cabin so I want to power the cabin from the bus as well. I used to have a breadtruck that I built into a tiny home on wheels. You may know me as the Breadtrucker on YT. I just sold the breadtruck and replaced it with this skoolie.
So far, I know I will have 4 12v 200AH GoldenMate LIFEPO4 batteries. 800AH total. With these batteries, I have to option to build a 12, 24, or 48v system. I need all the other parts. Looking for affordable options. Is my best bet to build a 48v system? Should I get an all in one like an EG4 or Victron Multiplus?
I am also going to be running a 12v 8000BTU rooftop AC from Velit. Would it be feasible to run the AC on a 48v to 12v converter?
I’m leaning towards a 48v system but I would like the opinions of the experts here on this forum. I’ve been lurking for years but I just registered today! tia
