Hi all,
I am new to the forum, doing some reading and research, looks like a great group for information.
I have installed several grid-tie and off-grid syystems at my own places and for friends over a few years but never done any technical education. I have a specific system in mind to install in a 5th wheel trailer I keep in the UK but with US electrical system which I would like to keep as we live mostly on the left side.
Looking at the relatively new Midnite Solar MN3024DIY as a base, with room for four panels on top. I'm wondering if there's any reason I shouldn't use this inverter/ charger on the rig, being it is *generally* a static trailer, not mobile. I am thinking I could add a US (120V/60Hz) 12vdc charger for the house 12v battery that runs the DC lighting and water pump and keep separate, using the inverter system with a decent 24vdc battery bank to power the 120v appliances. Any thoughts or suggestions on this and suggestions on battery type and configuration also welcomed. Thanks in advance.
Dave.
