Installing multiple systems
Hello everyone!
Wanting to accomplish a few different installs and looking for guidance on my approach.
Firstly, I found two 12v 100ah batteries in alright condition and was wanting to charge them off my alternator. Am I looking for a dual battery isolator kit or battery charger? How can I check my alternator ahead of time to ensure it can handle the load?
I also invested in two 100w solar panels that I'm still waiting on, a 30a MPPT controller and the necessary wires from Renogy.
I have a 2000w inverter with two outlets but want to hardwire some gang boxes around the bus that can utilize both solar and shore power.
I know I'll need fuses, grounds, likely some kind of voltage regulator (battery charger or isolator maybe?) and junction boxes. My phone and computer are a flurry of saved links to various guides already, but certainly open to more.
This all feels very ambitious but possible. I am looking for your favorite resources for wiring 110v outlets from your inverter. If I need to buy another kind, I'm willing.
I've been searching the site but haven't found many folks working with the same systems and wonder if there are things I should anticipate before jumping in or systems I should wire first. So far, I'm thinking tying my battery bank to the alternator is first.
Thanks so much.
