Hello,
My name is Jake and I got sucked into the solar wormhole early last week lol. Ive been none stop trying to read and research items I will need as well a best plan/setup.
After starting to research I performed a 3 day power audit on my Lance 1181 Truck camper.
85-91 and sunny all 3 days
Day 1: 10.6 kWh 7am-7pm 6.4 1 light, a/c set to 71, fridge on propane. was in an out from time to time
Day 2: 13.4 kWh 7am-7pm 9.3 " " fridge on A/C.
Day 3: 10.4 kWh 7am-7pm 6.2 " " back on propane
I have do some math to see if running the A/C for most of the day.
4x 400watt panels ( 5.58 average hours during months id be using) 8928-30% i figured i could pull in 5-6 ish kWh
Im 100% ok with having to run the genny for an hour if necessary so that is part of my plan if needed.
Setup: 48v
2x 40amp WZRELB MPPT 170v PV max input
1x 3000w sungoldpower
160ah 16s with smart daly 200amp BMS (i have to build do to space available, the rack setups would be nice though)
48v-12v buck converter
various pieces (breakers, fuses, etc)
one final test I did (i race motorcycles) I tested my tire warmers since they are digital. I test the 1hr warm up (625watts used) then rest and watched the next 40 mins (410watts) when at the track the warmers would be running 40 mins of each hour from 9-5.
I feel i could make it 2.5 days on my setup plus the 8.2kwh battery. if the gen must run thats fine, battery cap will be added as time goes on as well as i can fit 5 panels (2000watts).
If anyone has any input on the items i have picked that would be great. I need a 170v+ input because if i move to 5 panels i can run 3 on 1 MPPT 2 on the other.
thank you in advance. this is my first post so...
