My First DIY Solar RV Project

[ben5398]

I am looking for feedback on my thoughts I wrote this out as well as drew it out. I will not be expanding this at all as it is maximized for the trailer roof. It is only a 14' travel trailer

6 Rich 250 watt 12 Volt solar panels wired in series in two sets of 3 to a positive and negative Y junction for a total of 1500 Watts at 12 volts

Inline 60 amp fuse on Positive line


Victron 150v 70A Charge controller

Inline 60A Fuse on Positive out from Charge Controller

3 or 4 280 AH 12v Eco Worthy LiFePo 4 Batteries Wired in series

2 wire sets coming off both Negative and Positive

1st wire set
200 Amp fuse on Positive off the battery
Goes to12v fuse Box

2nd wire set
150 Amp fuse on positive off the battery
Goes to the 1200 Victron 12v Inverter



Total Max Continuous Draw of All Electronics 1350 watts if everything is running

One general thing i can say:

Fuses should be sized to protect the conductors from overheating, so can the wire from your battery bank to your fusebox handle 200a continuous without melting the insulation off? If not, that fuse needs to be smaller.
