Thanks Phil, so much choice out there let alone price ranges for the same thing! Hope your installation goes well.

Hello Phil
Maybe a lithium battery and large invertor to use all that capacity.
Our lithium has transformed our way of using the van.Best thing ever purchased for a van.We have 3 X 100 panels up top.

Can you lend me a few thousand watts until the Spring please?

Just noticed Phil that you have lithium?
Had our NDS 150 amp from Road Pro for a year.It has a btob and mttp for solar.Charges over 50 amps hr on our 180 alternator.Have been told to not allow a charge below zero unless correct protection in place.

I have:

600Ah+ of thin plate carbon deep cycle batteries.
230A max Victron Cyrix battery combiner relay (produces 100A of charge on tickover).
120A Victron multistage charger (in my inverter)

I will have:

1280 watts of solar panels.
100A Victron Smart Solar MPPT charger.

Have you been approached yet by the national generating board? They might want to borrow a bit of power at peak times.
