Folks - planning a system for a 40' aft cabin live aboard.
Goal is to have all my systems available for 5-7 days - minus AC, oven, and Hot Water heater
I've done the calc's for usage so solar panels (3 @ 370w) and batteries will be sufficient.
Please take a look.
My pref is one isolated system to feed the whole boat with only 2 connection interface (inverter to vessel ground and 110v to a 2 position switch)
- keeps 4 banks charged
- keeps components down
- keeps system separated from current house set-up for easier install
- downside loose some efficiency from charging DC to 110 to DC
- leaning towards the 3000w inverter bank being 24v (lower MPPT amp and also better to feed to inverter?)
- I do not always have to have Battery Charger on (can turn off at the panel and leave on for several hours mid day as needed)
2nd page is more tritonal set-up with a system for each bank.
- more components
- more wiring to run
- less clean set-up (inverter system stays the same so 3 installs vs 1 basically)
Comments please?
