Hi Everyone,
I have decided to use the Bouge RV Panels (Mostly for size, a coupon, and the longer wires over renogy) I am putting 400W on a minivan (Yes it just barely fits) I was going to with the 50DC Renogy alternator thing and then a Rover 40A but decided it was not worth it but after reading some reviews and the shorter warranty I decided to go with a Victron. Ideally I want to get away with the 100V/30A Smart one. For my battery I am using a 200AH PowerURUS. I was going to spring for the SOK but could not justify the $250 more. If you have another input on battery let me know. The youtube reviews are all over the place.
Here are the specs on them all attached for you. Can I get away with the 30A? I know it would be best to upsize but I can never fit anymore panels and it is $100 more. How should I wire the panels 4S is way easier but I would be open to 2S2P.
I am doing my array like this.
Also any suggestions on an inverter? I do not want to spend too much as I will try to run most everything off DC anyways it would just be the rare occasion I might need it was eyeing a 600W Giandel.
