Solar and Lithiums for a happy life/wife
#37

Jack, we are still working on purchasing all the parts, it's been put on hold until we get through EDC Las Vegas and Bonnaroo, then a trip to Newell right after to get repairs done, from our bus being broken into while in storage. We've changed to a new storage place in Aledo, which is much nicer than where we had it. I will attach pictures as we go along. I can't express enough how much help all of you are, this has been my go to forum for info along our journey, and I figured it was time to stop lurking.

Simon, sounds like you got it covered on the solar panels. One of the reasons I wanted to go with victron is that we can program it to kick the genset on if we start pulling more power than we have in the batteries, as well as schedule maintenance runs. I'm sure that's not an exclusive feature, but worth considering.

Man, a forklift would have been nice, I had to dead lift mine up using a home made stool on its end, lean panel against the bus, run up the side pegs, then do my leg day. Rinse, wash repeat. I have 5 panels up to run the spit mini we put in the basement. Not the prettiest of installs, but I'm also in the process of doing a remodel so it will get fixed up after we get it back from Newell.
