I have a 45' Prevost bus and a bunch of new 425 watt solar panels and 8 x 24v x 200Ah EG4 rack batteries. I also have 2 EG4 6500 watt inverters. Instead of buying a 15-20K generator to run all of the systems of this conversion I would like to go battery only. The bus alternator is 24V. I am wondering if there is a way to charger the battery bank from the alternator. I would also like to be able to plug into 30/ 50 amp to charge batteries as well. I expect there will need to be some kind of transfer switch ( I don't have nor do I know what I would need) and some various other items. First I am curious if this idea is possible. If it is possible, what do I need to make this work? Is there anyone who can provide a stick man schematic that I could follow to get this set-up? I will likely be running 2 mini-split systems, a household refrigerator, camper size washer and dryer, microwave, induction range, multiple TV's, hair dryer, fans. I have not yet identified the water heater. Would prefer to use the onboard diesel to heat but some of those systems also use electricity. A quick estimate is 8-12 solar panels on the roof.
If all of this is a pipedream, I understand. Thanks for your help.
