I have no problem building or spending what I need but looking for some advice. I purchased a van with the following simple solar setup:
100 watt panel
Renogy Wanderer MPPT
100ah AGM Bettery
Renogy 500 Watt Inverter
This setup does not meet my power needs. I have a Bluetti EB150 All-in-One Unit, which is roughly 100 amp hours and 1500 wat inverter.
I want to have 300 watts of solar on the room and 200ah worth of battery.
My wife spends a lot of time in northern Canada and the lithium in the All-in-One is a fight.
I am debating between a few setups:
1. An MPPT/DC-to-DC Charger and 200ah of AGM batteries (they are not nearly as efficient as the lithium, but handle the cold better), and a 1500-watt inverter
2. An MPPT/DC-to-DC Charger and 200ah of Lithium batteries (heaters or such to try and combat the often -25f)) and a 1500-watt inverter
3. An MPPT/DC-to-DC Charger and the current AGM battery (100ah), and a larger inverter. I would use the inverter to pass through to the EB150. Though I know there is a power loss going from the DC to AC back to DC. But this would allow me the power I need in the summer and let me run just the AGM in the winter.
Is there anything I missed, or better suggestions from others?
