My idea...put solar system in enclosed trailer.
I have the growatt 24v 3k all in one. I plan on purchasing 2 24v 170ah batteries from big battery. I also need solar panels. I want put the panels on top of a couple sets of aluminum ladder racks on the trailer. It's a v nose trailer but the main portion is 14' x 8'.
Suggestions for solar panels to fit that area and how to run them. The growatt has a max open circuit voltage of 145 and an 80 amp mppt.
I initially was going to mount everything inside the trailer. I have since changed to putting it on a hand truck that will be locked in place and obviously removable. I want to use a form of quick connects to power 12 v loads in trailer. Just an extension cord for any 110 loads.
I also need power in the sprinter van. I'm trying to figure out a good way to do that without moving the cart. I have limited space in the van because I'm in a wheelchair.
1st thought .from a bus bar run another set of positive and negative wires still at 24v to a quick connect (possibly a very heavy duty anderson) to the end of trailer hitch. Then continue in the van to another 24 to 12 v step down and a second 12v fuse block. Not sure but don't know of a way to accomplish that with 110. ( Maybe extension cord to tongue also) that maybe funky
2nd idea run everything from trailer 12v fuse panel that will be next to the growatt in the trailer to the sprinter.
3rd idea have two separate battery banks that can both be charged by the solar on the trailer. Not sure if that could be accomplished at the same time because of the different lengths of wire to each battery bank or?
I only need more power (than the van can provide), usually at night because that is where I sleep .
And lastly, I guess I could put the battery bank in the van only and keep the growatt in trailer.
IM not interested in putting solar panels on the van at this Time
Thank you for any input. Sorry for the length of text.
