Thanks for all the replies and help so far. Everything is basically wired up now. I have not tested all components yet though. I just want to make sure...
My 10Amp AC-DC charger is hooked in to my neg and pos bus bars. When I turn on the charger the current wont flow to my solar panels or anything else coreect? it will find its way to the battery? Basically everythng is hooked on the bus bar.
When I turned the system on I got voltage flowing through my DC-DC charger. I thought it would only go out the other side when a 12v ignition wire is attached. I wired the ignition activating wire to the 12v input jumper cable terminals so I could backup charge my system from my truck. It would sense the 12v connection from the jumper cables and then turn on. but Voltage is 12v on the inputs and the outputs on the DC-DC so I guess that won't work and I need to wire a switch to turn on to activate the charger. Not what I was expecting but ok.
I took the advice of you guys and I am upgrading to 4/0 wires. I already used 4/0 for my parallel connections and will change my 2/0 inverter wires to 4/0 today
I'm using a Renogy Rover 40Amp controller with BT. Im surprised to see there is no wifi network device only 4G module or BT. I wish they made Wifi then I could still log in anywhere I am to check on my values. Don't need 4G cell module to do that, but I guess Renogy is a little behind the times.
Ill put up some pics. I may have gone a little overboard.
