  GOOD  EVENING  EVERYONE !!   Hope everyone is Happy & healthy today! We did this install at Indiana Dunes National Park on July 28th.  This is the William's Install on a Motor Home Here we have (3) 160 watt solar panels on tilt mounts. These panels were placed in the middle so as to be able to add future panels on the drivers side flat mounted. Junction Box. Each panel is wired individually on #8 wire . #6 wire was used from box to controller and to batteries. This install was unique as the controller is 5 ft. below box in closet & batteries are 3 ft. below controller. This is a Renogy (Tracer) 30 amp Controller With a Solar Array Disconnect Switch. We are off to Port Huron, Michigan for our next install, SEE  YOU  DOWN  THE  ROAD !!

       GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE !!   Well this was a interesting install. We installed (8) 160 watt Solar Panels, Magnum 100 Amp Controller & (5) 100 Ah Lithium Batteries .   The Lithium Batteries was a new learning curve for me , but with the help of Zack we got them online. I was very impressed at there holding voltage while the air conditioner was on at night! For a half an hour they maintained 13.2 without dropping and were only 75% charged.  Here is everything installed. 500 Amp Hours of Lithium Batteries, 100 Amp Magnum Solar Controller & all the wires, switches, fuses, and Circuitry that goes with hooking up Lithium Batteries. ( The Magnum 3000 Hybrid Inverter was already installed) Two Combiner Boxes ( 4 panels to each Box ) # 8 wire on panels and #4 wire to Controller and #2 wire to Batteries It sure is a Pretty site. A lot of wiring and time goes into wiring up these Lithium Batteries ...

GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE !! Here we installed a Magnum 2800 watt Pure Sine Inverter , a Sub Panel ,  1 Blue Sky 30/24i MPPT Boosting Controller with IPN Pro Remote and two new 6-volt batteries . As you can see I had to build a box for the batteries and vent them to the outside. These batteries are Lead Acid and cannot be in the same compartment with electronics by themselves. Always make a sealed box vented to outside. The other 2 batteries are under the step and this was the only location to add additional batteries along with inverter. 12 volt System Combiner Box . Each panel is on its own #8 wire to the box, and then #4 wire to the Controller and on to the Batteries. This is the IPN Pro Remote & Magnum Remote Finishing up on the roof. Starting to lay down the panels for transport (4) 160 watt Solar Panels. These panels are made in the USA and have a 25 year warranty . and can be purchased on this Blog. Getting it all put together.
