solar install
#29

Morning Steve hope all is well in your area of Florida, prayers are with you.

I had to alter my original plan as after doing some measurements and drawing it up on cad I could not fit 11 panels as planned, the generator exhaust really left me scratching my head there are two fans one on each side of the coach that have to go under the panels the distance from the exhaust would not allow me to do that but fortunately two panel side to side is the same as the length of one panel so thats why there are to panels length wise in the center.

I also went with a single 8k watt split phase growatt inverter, it will power everything in the coach but there will be a few limitations like you can't run the dryer and run all the heat pumps full speed at the same time. Of course that would be a challenge with just a normal 50A shore power.

I have 2 series strings of 5 panels each, the growatt has 2 solar inputs for 250v each so that will work out nicely. As the lack of a stand alone solar panel for the 12v house system they will have to be charged off a 12v battery charger and same for the coach batteries, there was just not enough room on the roof for a eleventh panel. The first picture is of everything, red is the roof cross members which are on 24 inch centers blue is solar panels, the rest is rails and vents, the second photo is a cleaned up version without cross members.
