Impressive.


Why not use the OG location for the new equipment?

I used as much original locations as much as I thought that I could given the "requirements" that I wanted on the system size and ability for off-ish grid operation.

The batteries are in the original location.  I was actually able to use them with very slight modifications.

I wanted to keep the original inverter as a backup that is now fed from the engine batteries so that stayed.  I can choose to either feed the original inverter sub panel (with a few circuits including the refrigerator/microwave/missing deep freeze....) from the inverter or the main panel with the new inverters.    

The new inverters would not fit in the original location and I wanted to spread the heat load out in the 2 large bays.  I am hoping that I do not have to cool the bays with the new electronics with anything too complicated because of the size of the compartment as well as a/c ducting is located there.  I might get away with doing nothing, but likely I will have to un-insulate the a/c ducting, or put in some sort of heat sink on the ducting, or at worst steal some of the a/c air in the duct. 

I left the generator to transfer switch wiring in, but had to extend it from the shore power bay to the new inverter bay.  

Although it is kind of late for me to move it at this point, is there any suggestions for locations for the next guy?
