general schematic for a van/rv solar
Is there a general schematic for a new solar system in a van conversion-rv?
I have 4 roof Renegy elipse100watt panels (two are tilt-able) and 2 Renegy ellipse ground deployed 100watt panels. I also have 4 12volt Trojan Overdrive 31’s - 180 amp/hr agm batteries. (400watts to 600watts of panels and 720 amp/hr agms). I'm estimating 140-170 amp/hrs per day (worst case)...Dometic 65 frig/ heated dc CPAP machine / dc lights / computer, etc. / dc tv monitor / etc.
Is there a standard schematic to figure Parallel
panel hookup/ panel junction box (roof normally…and ground when needed) / wire
gauges (I prefer overkill gauge with length of runs) / grounding wires / charge
controller / inverter / fuses (inline and panel)-breakers-distribution panels /
on-off system switches types and locations / battery monitor / heat sensors / shunts
/ battery meter / overcharge monitor / shore power convertor / etc???
Thanks

well if long runs , you might look into series wiring for those panels, smaller ga. needed and less line losses..
At the bottom of this page there are many wiring diagrams
