Thanks everyone, I love these forums-they make you consider things you never thought about. Do you have any suggestion for my proposed system below? I listed it a 800 watts system but as you can see it is 400 watts. My plan was to add more panels and batteries in the future. As you can see I will be able to charge my 24v battery bank using Victron Energy Orion-TR Smart. I will also be able to charge via shore power. Besides wires, lugs, fuses, breaker did I forget anything? I need to do a long term energy audit to make use that I haven't over or under designed system. I also need to put together a wiring diagram. Obviously, I'm trying to save money so any ideas on how to reduce cost would be appreciated!
My desires are:
1. 24V system
2. charge battery bank with alternator-2017 Dodge Promaster
3. Plug into shore power and charge battery bank from shore power
4. Save money but have a quality system-I know that's in the eyes of the beholder!
