I've read Will's book, and referenced a secondary source. I'm asking this because time and budget are of the essence and this is my first system build. Looking for a simple "good to go", or "your wrong-you need this component instead this" or "your missing this, this, and this". I'm not interested in brand/equipment comparisons at the moment or individual solar ideology/opinions. Unless brands are incompatible, I'm open to brand comparisons at another juncture. I just wish to know if the component itself is the correct component to be installed in the system, and if not, what should be there in it's stead/added to system.
Below is a list of system components for a van build. Is there anything wrong or missing? Please advise. Thank you.
System is for a van build:
-(4) 100w HQST panels, wired in two pairs of series for a series/parallel combo
-10 gauge wires from panels going to (2) 2-panel branch connectors before entering the vehicle (controller and battery both will be less that ten feet away)
Down below:
-Renogy Rover 40amp Li charge controller
-50 amp circuit breaker
-200 amp bolt on battery main fuse
-8 gauge wire from controller to battery bank (Rover only fits 8)
-Battery will be 206 ah SOK
-4/0 gauge battery to invertor cable
-Renogy 2000w pure sinewave invertor
-12 circuit fuse block
-12 gauge wire for connecting my MAXXAIR 5100k, two 12v cigarette lighter outlets (1 for a Road Pro fan, 1 for my Alpicool C15 fridge, and puck lights to fuse block
-The cheapo 8-80v.0-100 amp battery monitor on Will's recommendation page (can't afford Victron)
-Circuit breaker, main fuse, wiring, and fuse block are from Will's recommendation page (except for hook up wire from panels)
