hey kev thanks for the advice on that.. an update: i bought a growatt spf 3000 splitphase that requires 48v mandatory. Now bear with me as i’m a little green at this. but if you plan to invert to 120v then one 48v or two 24v at 100ah is best right? as opposed to a bunch of 12v 100ah’s. My...

hi gary, thanks for the reply. however from what i can tell the company who manufactured the panels is FINNING who makes CAT construction equipment i know their testing process and team reasonably well. and they seem to test the panels under quite difficult conditions unless i was lied to for...

i’m gonna check the connections and make sure everything is hooked up right, what do you recommend for wiring panels and controller of this size in parallel or series, i’ve heard that series makes the controller work more efficiently right?

my battery is currently a 12v lithium battle born. idk what SOC means. but what setting should the controller be on when charging a lithium 12v also if a panels ratings are 455w at NOCT and on cloudy days it’s 25% efficiency am i to assume on non cloudy days or even slightly sunny parts of...

hello i recently just purchased a renogy 100amp rover charge controller. the controller is wired in parallel with two 455 watt panels. everything seems to be working fine. however the display screen tells me it is charging with 30w of power not at a total of 600+watts (which is around...

Hey so quick update on the wiring you said to do. I wired in the 16 gauge wire for the second rocker switch you were talking about. It went much better than I was expecting. I pulled the old water tank out and there are three wires for me to connect the new tank up to for the gas side of...

thank you charles! I will thank you charles! i can definitely try to wire it to to the water heater. is there any type of device that allows you to send a 12 gauge wire down that black plastic conduit?? as my water is located on the opposite side of of the motorhome. so it may be difficult...

i have a 2200 honda generator as well as three 455 watt solar panels that’s i plan to run 90% of the motorhome off of. will that be enough wattage if it’s just me using tè water. To Answer your question no i’m not moving it just boondocking atm.

hello so a quick update on the wiring of the motorhome. the guy i bought it from said the first owner did some upgrades but he didn’t remember exactly what he did but apparently there was some wiring done. with that being said upon further investigation into the circuit breaker and wiring setup...

hi no i don’t have it connected to shore power. just a battery.

this is also on the backside of the circuit panel door.

hi everyone thanks so much for the help, here is my circuit breaker panel.

here is a photo of the back of water heater. i labeled it for what i’m understanding so far.

my motorhome also does not currently have an inverter but i will be installing one shortly in the compartment immediately next to my battery bank. i assume the 120 volt 12a at 120v won’t work untill i have hooked up my inverter. But when i do hook up the inverter will i need to to wire the...

so this is the back of the water heater, all three blue green and orange wires should be wired into a pigtail that can be connected to a switch which is a variation of this. i don’t know what a load center is? is that another circuit breaker added to my fuse breaker panel? and how does one...
