Been busy on this thing. Had some friends over this weekend because it was a washout on the East Coast so we played in the garage.
Panel stack mounted on the roof but needs some cable management. Can't really finish my awning for the roll out panel until I get the thing off the lift.
Panel selector switch so that I can run the top panel as the primary and switch on the lower before rolling it out. Then have to roll it back in and let it balance and then switch it off (per guidance from my friend who does Solar for a living and gave me these panels as he upgraded the ones on his garage).
Battery isolator switch, battery box and redonkulous hold down.
I can run the 60A AC to DC charger off of my shore power outlet. The box to the left is an outlet that is fed from the inverter inside so I can run AC powered things outside with the door closed to keep the skeeters out. So far the inverter fan only comes on if I am running over a 1kw load.
The AC to DC charger is NOT weather resistant in any form of the sense, so if its bad weather, and I have access to 120 and I still want to charge and don't care about hearing the fan on the charger, I can mount the charger indoors on the wall (screws there catch one end and a thumbscrew catches the top) I have a switch to isolate the inverter and then back charge to the primary bus bar.
There was this big dumb hole cut in the side from some previous owner and then someone else decided to patch the outside but never finished the inside. Stuffed some XPS insulation in the hole, and then made this panel to use the same hole as my DC distribution and Shunt / Inverter monitor display.
There are (3) 12 V cig lighter style outlets, two on one breaker and one on another (top left) and then bottom left is a combination USB charger outlet.
The shunt / Battery monitor needs to be calibrated as I use it but that can't happen until I start to duty cycle the setup. I need to max charge and set full, then kill to my cutoff point and then set my zero, alarm, and emergency shut-off point / and or reserve power trigger point.
And also threw together a removable bed frame. The first version was cantilevered and used gussets but the side panel of the wheel well cutouts wasn't stout enough and would deflect so it ended up with some legs anyways. I have a nice folding futon mattress for it so the dimples and the offset for the handle for removal won't be a problem. The thing lifts and slides over towards the window. I don't know how water tight these windows might be when hauling so I wanted to be able to pull the bed apart and also make floor space for stacking my tubs of gear. Oh, and bought some cheap LED party boat lights to put around the inside that run off the 12V cig lighter outlet in the top left; they can change to a million colors and are dim-able so that will be nice to set on red light mode. I
So yea, the awning, fix the screens, and do some cable management. Planning to build a "lazy meth head deterrence screen" for around the cables and batteries to help reduce the intention of a walk buy cable snipping / system parts theft. The solar panel cable routing... my brain is circling on ideas.
Do you have a link to that AC setup?
Meant to reply sooner. This is pretty much it. Mine is model
Treeligo EAC001.50.12
The text in the link is the model of the one I am using. They make a bunch of different ones but this one is for "truck parking" and seemed to consume the least amount of power and I have minimal and rather well insulated space. Fingers crossed it stays working well and correctly.
