$6,236 total solar cost:
Victron Multiplus 12/2000/80-50 - $1,150
Smartsolar 100/30 - $226
Monitors: battery, MPPT, Inverter - $500
breakers & wire & lugs - $200
four HQST 100w Mono panels - $460
four 100Ah BattleBorn lithium batteries - $3,700
Lithiums do not like freezing weather, so this is all under the bed and behind insulation from the back & sides. I removed the converter because the lithiums stay charged with the solar panels most of the time. Otherwise, the generator can charge the lithiums very quickly. The exterior bar-b-que gas line from the back was rerouted (without disconnecting from the main gas manifold) up next to another gas line under the kitchen sink, behind the microwave, and into the converter space. I reattached the quick gas disconnect and use this for a catalytic heater on stands, as I plan to visit 30+ ski resorts this winter using my Ikon ski pass.
