Have 500 watt panels on roof of my 26' Class C, have 2000 watt modified sine wave Inverter, 20 amp solar charge controller, 2 100ah marine deep cell batteries. Also have 1500 watt modified inverter on one power cord to inside coach. Bought a new inverter, 4000 watt Pure Sine wave Volfvert, still in box is what I got. Inverter was suppose to be 3000 watt Giandel. Should return right? Plan was to get 3000 watt pure sine and upgrade batteries to 2 Amstron AGM 6 volt GC2. I think the 4000 watt inverter is overkill and crappy brand. Im building my system slow but sure on tight income to run my 9000 pioneer mini split. If i can do that i can boondock. Some of this was bought by my husband before he passed 2 years ago. Some I bought before I read Wills book. Im starting with what I have. I know its rag tag and not fancy. But so was this motorhome before I started. I love the mini split! I workcamp and am on shore power and will be for most likely another year. So just need info to finish so I can travel to see kids. #1, inverter return?. #2, batteries, golf cart Amstron or go cheap at sams club? #3, higher amp charge controller? #4 I have room on roof for I think 3 more panels. My existing 5 panels are all 100 watt. #5 Do multiple charge controllers have to be same brand? I know this system is basic and thank you for your kindness to read this and your input is much appreciated. I will try to learn as fast as I can. As long as I dont have to climb on my roof, I can do this!
