Client Wanted
Solar power for moderate off-grid electrical use to enable extensive travel, incorporating existing system for backup
Existing System
- 30-amp service
- Conventional 200 Ah lead-acid (AGM) battery bank
- Generator but no solar or inverter
What We Did
- Designed and integrated a system that utilizes the storage compartment under the bed for batteries and components
- Connected the new battery bank to the existing electrical panel using a manual transfer switch so they can use their AGM batteries as a backup if their lithium bank runs low
- Wired in the Xantrex inverter to the existing AC panel for full panel use while unplugged
- Connected three roof panels to the system via the combiner box with no visible wiring
Main Components
Xantrex 2000-watt inverter, Victron charge controller, 3 x 170-watt Zamp panels, manual changeover switch, Xantrex remote inverter panel
