Thank you all for the insights thus far. Please keep it coming.
Speaking of batteries, am exploring how to improve charging of my 936Ah bank when not on shore power. Feel am falling short of fully charging the batteries. Considerations thus far:
- the solar controller and charger may need config changes to align to battery manufacturer charging recommendations. Example Rolls recommends 15.0V for Bulk & Absorption charging versus currently set at 14.6V.
- wiring between solar controller (and charger) and batteries may be insufficient. Particularly given the distance between the batteries and controller (and charger). House batteries are on driver side; solar controller and charger are on passenger side. Dont see a good option to get them closer together.
- a potential upgrade of existing inverter/charger would include an increase in charging from 100 to 125 (or more) amps.
- add
TBD solar panels.
- increase use of 8K watt generator though hoping other options make it not necessary.
Any suggestions to consider, please do share. Thank you.
